I was very excited to find Le Pens at such an affordable price! I having been using these pens since high school 25 years ago and used to pay 69cents! But, I should have known there was a catch! I first tried royal blue pen-andI did not notice had a crack at base and ink spilled all over my sheets and ruined them! Very expensive sheets and husband not happy! Then, tried black pen and appeared as if used for years with very little ink! Complete waste of money no matter how much saved! I will never buy from you again!
