These have got to be "loss leaders." They ship super fast too, inside a box that is much bigger than necessary. Bought the pencils and almost felt guilty opening it.
Anytime things that can pass as school supplies are dirt cheap (such as these), I buy them up and donate it to my old favorite teachers from K-12. I suggest people here to do the same as well.
Pilot G2 is a gel pen. This is a ballpoint pen. A ballpoint pen won't write as bold or smooth but it's smear resistant and doesn't bleed through. Think of the Bic Crystal

How do these compare to pilot g2? That's what I usually use but I noticed that it bleeds into the paper a bit which I can't have at my work.

$1 for a pack of 12 pens delivered? Even if these are below mediocre and less than half of them work, this is still a deal.

Sure! The good things about my pens is that they have all been tested and have passed the test at one point or another.
