Ebay price is about half retail but given my experience now with their use, I would pay FULL RETAIL if I had to. These are awesome and absolutely make you a better artist. They blend so beautifully with each other you never have to use blending pencils or liquid. Colors are vibrant and beautiful. I cannot recommend these highly enough. I read nothing but great recommendations about these before I bought and figured, YEAH SURE, nothing is that good. There has to be at least some downsides to these. THERE ISNT !!! Leads rarely break unless you have them to a super sharp LONG point. The LIFE is OUTSTANDING. I would say they last 3-5 times longer than that other leading brand that is about half the price. That other leading brand which is wax-based does NOT blend well at all. BUY THESE AND BECOME A BETTER ARTISTRead full review

Needed oil based color pencils that wouldn't smear when combined with washes from my watercolor color pencils. These are perfect. They also give a beautiful "foggy" blend when using a coarse bristle stencil brush for a misty atmosphere or distant landscape areas. Wow!

I wish I didn't have to buy the 6 missing Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils that were missing in this used 120 set of Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils. I also wish it didn't come with two duplicates of two different colors of the Polychromos as well. Finally I wish a used Caran d'Ache Luminance colored pencil didn't come with this as well.

The coverage from this pencil is very nice. it's easy to layer, and they say pigment lasts. I'm enjoying my set VERY much...it's definitely several steps above those crayons prismacolors. If you can afford the 120 set is nice...not much color repeats.

Leads lay down creamy and blend well especially with solvent, but also with blender pencil. Colors match the Faber Castell water color pencils as well so the two can be used together to obtain multiple layers without using up the papers tooth.
