Default Feathers

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?

I just came back from a hair dressers. Laid out the necks and capes.
Ladies went nuts for the shorter "fun color" dyed necks. Pink,
chartreuse, blue, purple, green, yellow... Sold less than 50 feathers
and walked out with a VERY nice piece of changes. 4 dollars for a
feather under 8, 5 for over 8. The women start feeding on each others
buying binge. Its a wonderful thing.
The going price here in town is 35 to have ONE feather put in your
hair.
I'm going to cash in, watch the market get saturated, watch the market
crash, and pick up some really nice hackle cheap. But before that, I'm
pickin' up some extra fishing money.
