mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Well ... everyone has different experiences. Don't give up on making some money. If you don't mind tying 15 or 20 flies and letting them sell them for you ... try it. What's the worst that can happen ... they get lost and you don't get any money. That happens on the river every day, no? Everybody has an opinion (and most of us vent them regularly, like flatulence) ... but your own experience might prove fruitful and fun. One thing ... if that shop is the only one near you, don't do the picture thing. Don't burn that bridge, if you know what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 I've often thought of taking my el cheapo C-clamp vise to work & knocking over some flies in work time! That way my boss pay's me to ty my own flies for my own fishing! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John F 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 I don't sell flies and have never really even thought about it. I did however have a little craft business. Most of our sales were wholesale to the stores. We charged roughly 50% of the retail price. A few stores preferred consignment and paid us 78-85% of retail. Don't fly sales work the same way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
