Saves me quite a bit. I've been shooting Beman matrix and the last dozen I got off e-bay cost me $85 with shipping. Last I checked at the arrow shop they were well over $100. You have to be willing to watch a lot of the auctions and wait on them. Several times I have seen a dozen shafts bring more than the shop charges before the shipping, then all of a sudden there is a batch that no one bids one. You have to be patient and I have yet to have a bad experience this way.
