FUSTOPS. FUCK ME 
Right, it's your CV joints that are worn, not the actual shafts. But it may be easier, less time consuming & cheaper to replace the whole shaft.
You can put 2nd shafts in, but u risk them be worn too, so may start clicking 5 miles down the road.
Easy enough job. Just unbolt bottom ball joint and drive shaft nut so you'll be able to move the hub out of the way enough to bang the CV joint out of the hub. When the drive shaft is free bang the CV joint away from the gearbox to remove the shaft out of the box. Put a catch tray underneath the gearbox to catch the oil

in my opinion sean id rather fit 2 new CV joints rather than buying 2nd hand full shafts and then somewhere down the line those doing the same
take it to a garage and get a qoute for 2 new outer CV joints fitted, or even source the outer CV joints yourself and get a qoute for how much fitted ?
