Those who have entered the basement tying room know of what I speak.

Tom, I'm selling 50 9-11" feathers on Sunday for 200 bucks. If you
have long dyed grizzly... you're friggen rich!

Frank,
I have at least 20 dyed and natural grizzley saddle pelts. Most still
have at least 100 feathers on them. I have a fair number of necks that
have at least 7 inch long feathers on them......the sudden cash flow
would be all well and good, but what is this saying about the price of
tying materials and flies themselves going forward?
