Thanks for looking. There are also many, many tons of flytying
materials in my friend's collection that we are scratching our heads
over how to dispense. If anybody can think of 30 or more dollars
worth
of suppplies that they may need, chances are I will be able to find
it
in the pile.


Hmm, I'd suggest making up a bunch of 'grab bags' and pricing them. A $15
bag could have basic restock supplies: some fur, some pheasant wings, a
bunch of hooks and thread. A $30 bag could have hackle, thread and hooks,
tinsel, crystal flash, and maybe some tools. A $50 bag could have several
hackles, some jungle cock, silver and gold thread, and lots more hooks. You
could even create a 'starter kit' with the vice, essential tools, and
materials for GRHE, WBs and other starter flies. It would take a bit more
effort up front on your part, but then you'd end up cleaning out the stock
rather than selling off the choice items for limited amount, and tossing
lots of scrap that could have been sold.

That being said, I'll take some pheasant tails, hooks, gold and silver wire,
any good short hackle and a hair stacker. :-)
