Pros & Cons
Pros
These highlighters are nice because they don't smear the ink that you are highlighting. The color is so so so vibrant, it's fantastic.
The gel lasts longer than the off brand. I never have to worry about it drying up and the highlighting is very visible. Does not leave a sticky residue.
These are excellent for highlighting the thin pages of the bible without bleeding through.
Cons
The sharpie gel sorta works, but you probably won't buy that brand of pants anymore. Buyer beware. Do not buy this item.
The pages stick together as if they were glued. The worst part is that it never dries.
The gel itself clumps up and rolls off in a manner that reminds me of eraser shavings. If you try to swipe the flakes off, all they do is smear.
Highlights
Quality
These gel highlighters are so smooth and easy to use and do not wet the page, show up on the back of the page, or dry out.
These highlighters are great for long term use.
You must make sure the cap is secured otherwise they will dry out real fast and then they belong in the garbage.
There's no scratchy sensation and because it's gel, it doesn't slowly start fading after a few days of use.
Price
But getting back to the highlighters - yes - they are great and an excellent value for the price i paid for 12!
Shipping
Arrived quickly and was as described, reasonable price.

Competitiveness
I did my comparison pricing and saved over $10 using amazon compared to office max.

I prefer the gel over the ink highlighters.

They dont dry out and you can leave the cap off the whole time you are working instead of having to constantly cap and uncap as you do with the older kinds of highlighters
