Hmm.....i don't know about white sharpie's but i do know that you can get silver sharpie's and i think they look 100 time's better than a white one, i think you can get them from any stationary store's {thumb2}

I wish. The only thing sharpie has in white are the paint pens. I would love to see a white sharpie.
Here's what sharpie says on their website.
A white marker requires a pigmented, rather than a dye base ink, to achieve the required opacity. With the ink technology available, we have been unable to manufacture a marker or pen that will uniformly lay down white ink. In the future, however, as new ink technology develops, it is quite possible we will be able to make a pigmented white ink marker. Until then we suggest trying Sanford's white Sharpie Paint or Poster-Paint marker. It is a valve action marker, which requires a pumping action.

Yes, there is such thing as a WHITE SHARPIE.
I use them when i get items that are dark signed.
Also what is good is the SILVER SHARPIE.

That's a white paint pen and not a marker. Paint pen's over time have a tendency to crack and eventually flake off certain signed items. I wouldn't recommend it.

There's a big difference between a sharpie and a paint pen. White sharpies/markers don't exist - and personally I find the paint pens to be rubbish

normally in the uk the silver sharpies are a right pain in the backside to find, and when you do they are between £1.50 and £2 each, luckily i was able to find an ebay auction selling 24 plus postage for only 20 quid. so i can just bung one in an envilope if im sending a dark photograph.
