Plea for RM Classboard Pens

[PhilChambers]

Does anyone happen to have any spare RM Classboard pens lying around that you aren't using? They have stopped making them and the only compatible pens I can find are from these guys and I begrudge paying £117 for essentially one pen:

If anyone does have any we would be willing to buy as many as we can off you.

Looking at that website, it says that £117 is for the pen charging kit. After changing the option in the lower left corner, it's £35 for just 1 pen which still may or may not be a lot (and about as much as we pay for our activboard pens) but it's cheaper than £117.

I thought that too, but it looks like the charger is of a generic type which fits several makes of board- instead of being a replica of the ClassBoard charger, and as such the pens will probably only fit the charger that they sell and not the ClassBoard charger.

Yeah I looked at that but you need the charger to allow the pens to work. The original pens just took AAA batteries so they didn't come with a charger.

which version of classboard pens are you after? is it the ones that slot in a black charger?

[PhilChambers]

It's either of these:

I don't think they came with chargers.
