I am helping a friend move some tying materials he was left from a commercial tyer. I will try to describe the lots as best I can but need to point out the volumes are huge (I have 4 huge tubs of stuff) and I need to move it. Do not be afraid to offer more than I am asking… Or even less! I am breaking it down more than I really want, but almost everything listed is abundant…
Offers involving more stuff will have an advantage!
I will just keep adding and making small posts as I go or I would never get through it all…
Shipping will be as close to actual cost as can be easily figured. I intend to drop the items in a large manilla envelope and mail First Class. Looks like a 10 ounce envelope across country (mailed as a package) is under $3.00.
Hackles:
Strung coachamn brown saddles- 4" or so… a little light colored for coachman, but the quality looks good. About 1 ounce, 6" sections for $3.00
Strung black dyed hackles as above- These look very good.
About 1 ounce, 6" sections for $3.00
3)Strung medium olive saddles- 6"… These were obviously dyed over brown and have a pronounced brassy/brown tone.
Same 6" section, but will be over an ounce I believe… $4.00
Mostly complete medium dun saddles (I have 4 plus one more a bit darker)… These are nothing like good genetic rooster saddles as they have 4-7" hackles or so, but they are very clean, have a fair amount of light dun chickabu on each, spades and some schlappen. They are about 12" total for the longest several and a bit less for the others. $7.50 each Sold the dark dun
Two Black capes (dyed grizzly) One shows a small amount of use, but very little. Should be able to get 16s and even 18s. Barb count is not great and they are a bit stiff, but there are lots of 10-14s. I strongly suspect they are “Pro” grade, but have no paperwork. $15 each
Three black capes as above with large spots missing in the 14-16 range. Lots of good smaller and larger hackle. Lots of hackle has been pulled off capes and is in one bag. There is a lot of hackle in the bag and more than could have come from the three capes. $20.00
Black dyed saddle (dyed grizzly) heavily used but still has lots of spades, very short (3") dry fly hackles to 12s and maybe smaller, and very nice schlappen $4.00
(8) Metz #3 natural dun cape. Bald spot where most of the 14 hackles used to be. All of the smaller and larger hackles are here. A few splashes of brown. $10 Sold
Metz #3 natural dun as above, but bigger bald spot in same place and no brown. $8.00 SoldPF
Metz #3 white cape front end only. This is just the hackles from about 16 on down. There are some 14s and it runs down to about average for the grade… $2.00 SoldPF
Chinese rooster necks, two red dun, one light barred ginger, one dyed very dark olive. Typical small necks. They look complete and untouched. $2 each, all 4 for $6.00
I have a visitor, so I will be adding more later.
thanks for looking!

So I spent several hours making a huge post with scads more items and lost it all some how… Not the best feeling…
grizzly hen cape and saddle appears intact and complete, fairly large… $8.00 Sold pending Funds
8 hoffman grizzly saddles with only schlappen left… $2.00
unidentified grizzly saddles with chickabou and some hackles left… You could still tie a lot of buggers with what is left but the main thing with these is the flank feathers which are neatly barred. It is a big bunch of streamers and such… $3.00 Sold
Almost complete grizzly rooster body skin from the bottom of the cape down, no tail or wings, very little in the way of dry fly hackle, but lots of streamers and such. Lots of spades for tailing, too. $9.00 Sold pending funds
Loose grizzlysaddles… pretty webby, not dry fly material. Gallon zip-lock with at least a couple ounces… $2.00
4 red dun saddles… These have been picked over, but the spades remain and there are lots of good dark “red” tails on each, two have dark dun and red spades. Each will still tie a lot of dry flies and the schlappen is there… $1.00 each One dark dun with red remains
Strung yellow saddles ~4" long… 6" should be about an ounce for $3.00
Strung chartreuse saddles ~4" long… 6" should be about an ounce for $3.00
STrung purple saddles ~ 6" long… 6" strip should be well over an ounce for $4.00
Hey Hap I would like #9 and #10 from the first pos, (the metz dun and metz white) one is $8.00 and the other $2.00, that would be a total of $15.00, how do you want me to send you the money ?
Tim
If you would like to wait for me to get the rest posted that is no problem and I am holding 9&10 for you.
Payment may be with any method that works for you other than CC… Paypal is fine, I’ll pay the 3%, any kind of check is fine. I have no fears someone buying tying supplies would be looking at stiffing me.
Thanks!

Sorry about not getting more listed and staying with the PMs and such. I strained my back and my sitting time has been GREATLY limited for most of the past week. Lots of the stuff went away at the AK Fly Fishers tying clinic on Saturday, but there is still a lot of stuff left…
Will try to get some things updated.
thanks for looking

hey Hap
I am in a need of some intruder fly tying material. this is mainly saddle hackle in pink and natural grizzly. chartruse and purple is also good.
do you think you have something like that?
will monitor this till 7pm tonight
also I can pay paypal or personal cheque or any way you prefer.
Retrieve
We have lots of saddle hackle in grizzly, chartreuse, and purple. Pink may be gone. Also have black, brown and maybe some olive left. I will check here in a bit and update this.
Pick the payment method that works best for you.
I will send a PM with a list of the items you listed… There is some schlappen in several colors I believe…
art
PM in a little bit when I get a chance to look through the stuff… All of it is not what you want… there are multiple gallon zip-locks of most colors… The list is misleading in that you might think the colors are mixed… the colors are individual in large bags…

Ok Art,
I am waiting for your offer. If you could have average to nice hackle for intruders I will happily send you the money.
Just let me know and your prices.
And your mailbox is so full I can not send you any private messages. I hope your back is getting better
Hey Hap, I’d like several of the items in this post #1 3.00 #2 3.00 #3 4.00 #11 6.00 #19 3.00 #23 2.00 #24 2.00
Total 23.00
If Paypal is OK let me know the account name and I’ll get it done today.
Also if you want to add the 3% for the paypal fee I’m fine with that.
I’m brand new in the tying thing, and this appears to be a great opportunity to pick up some materials at a great price. No hooks, thread, tinsel, etc.?
I tried to send a PM but you’re full again.
Thanks
Stan Taylor
