    Default Materials sales (need your help with INFO)


    Ok guys so may of you have ask me to either sell to you or want me to start caring some material to sell that I think I am going to try it in a small way. I will still price things better than most and will limit what I carry at least for a while since I can't afford to start off stocking everything.

    So here is my questions...

    What color Marabou would you guys buy most?

    What color Chenille would you like and how much would you want to buy at one time? 5 yards, 10 yards of each color? I will carry every color I tie with and may add a few more.

    I will make up some small kits that include some squirrel tail, marabou, Thread, tinsel, maybe some kip tails and a little hackle for the ones that want to try that. I will cut down the size of each to control cost of the packages.

    Tell me what else you may want me to have for you.

    Tools I am thinking of just having a kit of a few pieces, like Whip finish tool, bodkin, bobbin (good one). I really don't see me getting into vises, but I can special order them at a decent price and they go from cheap to pretty high cost ones.

    I still don't have cost figured with what it cost it takes to get them to me, but I will be fair no matter what!

    Tell me some good ideas you may have or think you would want. Actually you guys can help me help you if you not only tell me what you want, but actually start buying what I keep from me so I can keep materials flowing and turning over. Remember the more you buy at one time the less shipping impacts the overall cost of what you get.

    Soon I will add a page to my web site with prices and what I will have to sell.

    I'd like to see it. It would be a great idea I think. For the casual jig tier, I think 5 yards might run out too quick, and if they order a color they know they want 10 yards would be enough to sit down and make plenty of the pattern jig they want. Just my .02.
