[Request] Guitar strings...?

Any tips for online sources? Even overseas (packet of guitar strings should cost very little to p&p...)

Ebay seems to have very good deals (euro to dollar exchange rate helps), especially if you buy a few packs and save on shipping. Probably applies more to people who have to change the strings on a couple of guitars every couple of months though

Goodwins on capel street are very resonable for strings.

D'Darrio - €8
Extra/Super Slinkys - €7.50

The martin strings are cheap enough too, cant remember the price tho.
