jim, do not listen to them about ebay, you can get brand new shafts still in the box...
You can take the arrows out of the package, check them out, keep out the good ones and replace them with the bad ones from another package, seal 'em up and, since they are unused, you can sell them as new. There was quite an enlightening thread on that subject last summer. One that certainly lowered my opinion of quite a few people on this forum. According to the number of people that said they are doing that, the practice certainly appears to be widespread.
The simple fact is, you have no way of knowing whether you're getting shafts as packaged at the factory or if they've been repackaged by someone who's selling you their culls.
Buyer beware!
