My kids are now at the age where model rockets are fascinating, and I have boxes of old rockets to launch.

However, I have no motors, and quickly realized that hobbytown prices are rough.

Are there any good sources for 1/2 A through C size motors that are priced better than ebay?

Thanks

You tube shows you how to make them easily.

Hobby Lobby + 40% off coupon = winning.

Not unusual for our local HL to have a bunch of rocket stuff on clearance.

I can't remember the last time I bought anything from HobbyClown.

I only buy the bulk backs. Cheaper per engine, extra igniters & comes with wadding.
Clearance stuff from the Estes store as well.

Sweet. Their prices were the cheapest I have seen, but I had never heard of them.

Also, I found two boxes full of Estes bulk packs at my dad's house so I can wait on purchasing for a bit.

Just checked for info on a local shop, and found they went out of business last year.  They were known for larger scale rocket projects, such as F, G, and larger motors.

The videos on how to make your own are good. That's what I would do. The ones in the shop are kind of crazy expensive for all they do.
