Lost My Stylus, WatDo?
I have a perfectly fine Wacom Bamboo Create, I lost the stylus and it's going for a pretty hefty price of 70 bucks (only 1 left in stock, other one is 170 bucks) on Amazon and there's a completely brand spanking new tablet bundle on Ebay for 50 bucks.
Should I purchase the ebay one but then I'd have 2 good tablets, or the ridiculously expensive stylus?
OR should I attempt to sell just the tablet (and the wireless adapter pack) and upgrade to an Intuos pro? (The new Intuos pro has included bluetooth)




I would suggest getting the new tablet bundle. The drivers for the new tablet will probably be supported by Wacom for longer as well.
If you are able to sell it and upgrade to the Intuos though that would be even better, but not critical.
Yeah, the styluses (styli? Is this a "fungi" sort of plural? Must find out...) for Wacom are pretty expensive, unfortunately. The newer tablets though are pretty affordable. You probably don't even need the "pro" version unless you really, really want those extra buttons on it for some reason, or you prefer the larger size. If you like the larger size, I'd actually keep your eye out for a good deal on an unopened Intuos 4 or 5...you can save yourself a couple hundred dollars and not be missing out on the main specs like precision and sensitivity.
