A shop will charge you about 80 dollars to install. So if 135 is the install price, I would pass on the ebay deal. If thats strings alone, go ahead and buy them.

Thanks for all the input guys. I bought the ebay strings, watched a how-to vid on youtube, built a press from scrap material and a ratchet strap and installed the strings and cables myself. I may have gotten lucky or maybe paid attention for once, but the cam timing was perfect. I accidentally got the peep right the first time. I paid four bucks for a d-loop knock and two monkeytails, installed myself. I shot for the first time today. Hit a milk jug at thirtyfive yards about six times. Lost two arrows though trying to figure out how to move the sights in the right direction. I have fifty dollars and eightythree cents in a PSE "The Beast" Dont know how old it is or how good a bow it is, but my buddy who has been shooting for 30 plus years says it is worth at least fifty bucks. I had a great time taking apart and putting back together this bow. I highly recommend this kind of stuff for the therapeutic value. Thanks again everyone.

I bought some vapor trail strings for $75 and shop is $10 to install and swap all my crap over and even serve a spot for my string stopper.

I would laugh if someone told me $80 to swap strings. Just buy a bow press would pay for itself quick with 3 bows.

move your sight or pins the direction the arrows are hitting. So if you are hitting low micro adjust the sight or pin down.

This is why we should all learn how to work on our own equipment.
Buy a press and take your Bow apart and see how it works, Not that hard..You can find any info you might need online. Stop paying someone for doing what most of you can do ourselves..
