Why does it ask me to sign up for something?

People vote on products, then they distribute them in bulk. a lot of the distributors aren't comfortable with their bulk prices being public, so you need to sign in.

 

from the website:

Why does everyone need to create an account to see the site?

We are required to put up a signup wall by a large number of our vendors as it allows them to be more comfortable with lowering their prices. This allows Massdrop to list amazing products for the community while keeping our vendors happy. It’s effectively the same reason why you need to show your membership card before you walk into a Costco, even if you aren't buying anything.

My favourite pens are actually the normal Bic Berol pens. Extremely reliable, make my writing look very nice and great value - £1.50 for a pack of 8 or 10, I can't remember.

its 1.3333333333333333Exact conversion :P33333333333333333$ (converted) 

 

Well i have seen a similar one with my friend but i haven't ever properly used any gel pen (because i never tried them,sort off) i actually did i have been writing my exams with one i didn't even know it was a gel pen or is it a ink pen hmm......

 

I have always stuck to ink pens 

To explain that pen........

you know that news were the instructor gave a 9 year old a uzi ,that pen is like that 

If the user user can't handle it,it makes the handwriting worse example me  :lol:

its a bit slippery for me plus its a great pen i have been using it at least 2 years along with another one but i lost taste 

and switched to (check conclusion) 

 

which brings me to the conclusion i just remembered i changed my favorite pen this year from that to uni ball signo 207

Did you know. http://www.assdrop.com is also owned by Mass Drop and it redirect to there. They know their internets.
