eBay Experiment – Part I

The materials for my first eBay experiment have arrived. While these are the cheapest prices I’ve been able to find from a supplier, I still need to spend some time finding cheaper raw-material suppliers.

I’ve purchased enough materials to complete twenty-four arrows, I’ll be selling them off in batches of six, currently I’m thinking of putting starting bids on the batches at £15, and Buy It Now values of ~£25.

For twenty-four arrows, I acquired:

2 dozen 11/32″ Steel Bullet Piles, £7.60

2 dozen 9mm Pine Shafts, £11.90

2 dozen 11/32″ Bjorn Nocks, £2.80

6 dozen 5″ Parabolic Fletchings, £10.00

Additional materials:

HMG Glue, £1.95

Araldite, £-.–

Fletching Thread, £1.25

Tools:

23/64″ Taper Tool, £3.90

Craft Knife, £-.–

Fletching Jig, £-.–
