Don,
 
They are a potential customer only because they havent bought anything from me as yet. I was recommended to them by another retail customer here in Ireland. Small world eh!?
As for the quality, I am most definatly not a marlin/tandem tyer but I do tie very good quality, tidy and consistant flies for my customers. Never had a complaint yet thank god.
 
Thanks for your time Don, much appreciate the seasoned/informed answer.
 
Ronan.

Ronan,
That's like asking what's the price of cars, or houses, or fly rods, over here.  You can pay $8/dozen for cheap flies on cheap hooks, $2 each for nice standard flies on good hooks, $3 each and up for difficult-to-tie flies, or $50 each for custom marlin flies on tandem 10/0 6/0 heavy-duty hooks.
 
Boils down to - "you get what you pay for".  If his market will bear the price for better quality, then all comparisons are off.  Why is your contact a potential client?  Is he not satisfied with the product he's getting?
 
Just asking the business questions.  Been at this a long time.
