I went to Michael's art store to look for these new opaque white pens and markers. There was only one of the Sharpie water based paint markers in opaque white. We asked if we could get a discount on it as the package was opened. I was very happy with the $1.75 price, discounted from $7.49! Then I had a 50% off coupon so I used it to purchase an opaque white PITT artist pen. The normal price is $11.99 so it was a good shopping day!
