You've got to be careful about buying shafts onEbay. Quite a few guys buy several dozen shafts, go through them with a spine testerand grain scale, check them for straightness,then pick out the straightest dozen that are close to being matching shafts and then sell their culls as new shafts. They technically ARE new, but they've been picked over. If you don't mind using someone else's leftovers, then you can save some money.
