I've traded for feathers on this site, and I've also bought feathers off eBay. Both with good success.

Three Rivers Archery (3riversarchery.com) or Kustom King (kustomkingarchery.com) are both good places for feathers-decent prices, great quality, and fast shipping. Both are advertisers here. If I'm not using wild feathers, that's where I usually get them unless I can find a local traditional archery shop to support. The Bohning fletching jig is probably your best bang for the buck. Not as good as a Bitzenburger or other top-of-the-line ones, but plenty good enough at a fraction of the price. And I've fletched hundreds of arrows without a jig, they're not a necessity.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I got mine off of Ebay, though when I checked today, I did not see a listing from the seller.  He usually sells them by the 100 in 2 different qualities.  I bought the lesser quality ones for under $20.  They were good feathers.  These are whole feathers, BTW.

If you are looking for cut feathers, or whole, but trimmed at the base, I go to Eders.com.
