It is incredibly expensive, compared to buying new string. I got a 200yd roll of string for about $5 at a big box store.
I agree with the expensive part - I've been quoted over $400 to replace the 4-string big blind in my big window.
From which big box store did you buy the string? I've looked in Lowes and Home Depot and couldn't get it.
I've heard that some people buy 50-lb test fishing line - for my restringing I just went to Harbor Freight if I recall and bought a spool of polyester cord the same diameter as the original cord. I know it's not going to last forever, but for the price if I have to restring them every 5 years or so I don't mind! Home Depot and Lowes should carry the same, or similar, cord. Look in the area where they have rope, twine, etc - rather than in the blind area.
