Default Prismacolor Pencil sets at great price: link

I just bought a set of 72 prismacolor pencils, the premiere brand new off ebay for $37 with shipping. So I thought I would share the link to the seller incase anyone else is wanting to buy some. They also sell 48 and 120 sets.

This was the cheapest I found on the internet. Here's the link:

Im guessing this person is a dropshipper or bought a crate off a dock and they can sell them cheaper because of that.
I did dropshipping for a while on ebay and was able to buy things really cheap, I didnt have access to art supplies though.....wish I had!

oh..ok..does that mean a crate was "dropped" off the ship???Now...do I have to worry about the leads being broke? Sorry to sound so ignorant.... Mine seem to be in perfect condition,though.

No, a dropshipper means that the item is "dropped" meaning shipped directly from the warehouse to the purchasers door, not that the box or crate was literally dropped.
It just means as a seller you dont have to physically keep items in your home to ship them.
It is how the vast majority of ebay sellers work.

If they bought them off the dock, it means the ship that was carrying them sold them to people or they held auctions to sell them.

Nothing is wrong with the items unless it is stated.

I got my set of 132 for $65 including shipping! So if you're really patient and keep checking in, there are definitely some great deals to be had on the 'bay! ;)

Oh thanks for the info. Just ordered the set of 48. I too have been wanting to try them but didn't want to spend so much incase I didn't do well with them.

lol. You are so funny and made for a great start to this Sunday morning.

Hey ebethneu--thanks for the info. Good stuff to know. I was always worried about the same thing as parrothead--too good to be true so must pay full price. Now I know better maybe.
