So would ebay be the way to go then as far as buying the Bitz is concerned? I did the math at work today and it would come out to around $85 for the jig and a helical clamp for it. I didn't realize it only came with the straight clamp, and the aftermarket right helical clamp is another $26.

Bitz's don't just come with a straight clamp. I have seen them for sale with helical. Look around..it would save you an additional $26.

First, $69.99 after discount is way too much to pay. You can find them anywhere else for that price standard.
If you are still paying $70 after discount just order one online or go to another store.
If you are doing Blazers you really do not need the right helical. A lot of people use offset and it works well. Even Bohning says that you can use either and their Blazer jig uses offset, not helical.
