I told them I already hadthe string to put on, they said they would install it for $10 after beating around the bush for a bit. Not too bad for install, did not tell them it was a WC. Yea they had told me it would cost $105 for a Zebra installed that I would buy from them. I would assume it would be a huge markup for the Zebra and the fact they are a Mathews dealer

$105 for the set (Zebra)? I hate to tell you this but I used to work in a Gander Mt. store and most Zebra strings were right around $34. Cables were about $20 each.That's retail price. And for what the customer gets I think that is too much money. So you figure it out, dude. Somebody is making a ton of money on those things.

I agree!! If someone was actually going to charge you that much for Zebra strings?

I'd keep a very close eye on them

I agree as well. They do tend to charge way too much. I only go to them for the things I cannot do myself. I bought the WC string combo off the internet and that was the best price I could find $77. Anybody know of any web sites that has reasonable prices for equipment?

MS I could have saved you money on Strings and cables. I do my best to get customers what they want and at the best price I can give them. Shipping is always included in the price.

Some of these places charge $15 to $20 shipping!

I'd just as soon put that money toward something else for my bow. My website continues to grow, and if there is something you need that you don't see I'm as close as a phone, PM, or an email

Thanks MeanV2, I already bought the strings this time. That price included shipping as well. I will keep you in mind for future purchases.
