There is a guy selling a stock of 500 1kg rolls of 3mm PLA and ABS from 3dfilamenten.nl in the Netherlands, at less than $7 a roll.
I bought 24 rolls.
Here is my comparison to Colorfabb and 3DOM filaments:
Colorfabb
Layer-layer adhesion: 4/5
Flow: 5/5
Smoothness of print: 4/5
Accuracy: 5/5
Color quality: 5/5
Flexibility: 4/5
3DOM
Layer-layer adhesion: 5/5
Flow: 5/5
Smoothness of print: 5/5
Accuracy: 3/5
Color quality: 5/5
Flexibility: 5/5
3Dfilamenten

Hi
Over the years, I have gotten strange batches of filament from a variety of people. I also store filament in less than ideal conditions. A cheap vacuum pump and a vacuum rated pot have cleared up the majority of the issues.
It does *not* help much with the rolls of 3 mm filament I still have sitting around in the "brave new world" of 1.75 mm extruders .... Eventually I'll have to rebuild a 3 mm machine to use the stuff up. My guess is that the vacuum pump will be working overtime on those rolls. Some are going on 4 years old and even the pump may not resurrect them.
Truth in lending: Most of what I have used from them has been PETG, I've run a half dozen spools of ABS and about the same in PLA. There's been maybe 4X that many rolls of PETG in various flavors.

I have tried Makergeeks and it worked pretty good. Did have some issues with "wet" ABS though. Had a tough time getting them to respond to help requests. Haven't completely given up on them.
I have also been using Hatchbox PLA and ABS and it seems to be going good. Their wood was pretty straight forward.
Trying out eSun PETG and so far it has been fairly easy to get going.
Also an ASA from Ridged ink I think it is. Pretty easy to get going also.
