anyone have any experience with them?

their selection is limited but prices on many items seem quite reasonable. i'm eying their roll bags, but don't know how good their stuff is seeing that alot of it looks like house-brand BG-equivalent chinese stuff.

Interesting "monthly membership" plan for the discounted prices.

$3.99 for the first month, then $9.99/month until cancelled. 3 month minimum. And the cancellation policy guarantees at least one additional month beyond the current one. With the rate subject to change at any time. 3-7 day delay in updating account status.

Might very well be worthwhile, but I'd go in with eyes open.

ps *notes that signing up as an "affiliate" gives one free membership status*

This shop is run by the same people behind this club: http://www.emfc.net/

The woman who runs the place is extremely nice and helpful.

That being said, I wouldn't buy any thing from them unless you know exactly what you are getting.

Example: you know what an STM, fie epee blade is, they have a nice price, you get it.

You don't know what a Foobar brand rollie bag is, don't buy it.

They do sometimes cater to the low end so if an item is unfamiliar to you, it's prolly dodgey stuff.
