Tony: I think you're right. Most of the flies I'm talking about probably do
come from China etc. I remember when I first started fly fishing, and didn't
tie my own, and I bought those type flies at Wal Mart. They were expensive, yet
still fell apart after a cpl fish. Chuck

Chuck,
When I was tying for the shops and resorts I was able to buy my
materials in bulk. I would buy hooks in 1000 lots and get a good discount on my
other materials. Chenille was bought by the 144 yard skein Thread bought 10
spools at a time and things like that kept the price down.
I think the flies that are selling for .50 cents each are imported
flies tied in India or some other country that has cheap labor. Even at bulk
buying, I could not sell my flies for .50 cents each.

Folks: This is a question for ppl who have ever, or do now, sell
flies. I have been searching ebay, and other sites, and the ppl on there sell
their flies, mostly just pretty simple patterns for only 6/$2.99 up to about
6/$5.95 tops. Plus either free shipping, or 45 cents, or maybe 75 cents or a
dollar tops. Now, any hooks alone that are name brand, unless they are having a
great sale, are gonna run ya up to a about 15.8 cents each @ $3.95/25 pack .
So, how do these ppl make ANY money at all like this?? Or are they just doing
it to try to recoup some money on a hobby they enjoy doing anyway?? Thanks,
Chuck
