If you want to look at the value of your feather collection on ebay, go there, type in saddle hackle, or rooster hackle or your "favourite name brand" and scroll down through the list. I figure that I have saddles in my fly tying box that I paid a handsome price of $40 last fall which meet my tying needs perfectly (that is the catch when buying feathers), is now actually selling for $200-400 for the exact same thing. Glad I bought what and when I did to last me a little while. Ouch.

Course with gas prices moving up to almost $1.30 per litre, cannot afford to go fishing anyway in a truck getting 14-15 MPG due to the new ethanol content mixture. Might have to sell one to go for a couple days fishing
