only on Ebay! I have a handful of those L.L.Bean flies-I'm rich! I'm rich! the joker with zero feedback is playing games, but what about the high bidder? Ebay security doesn't smell a fish? Which reminds me, only 52 days to open water fishing season.

If you want some insight on unethical auction tactics, whether it be Ebay or any of the major New York auction houses, get a copy of "Auction Madness" by Charles Hamilton-he was a high end autograph dealer in New York City and was thoroughly blackballed over this book and eventually put out of business. He gave away a lot of auction secrets about bid rigging, false descriptions, etc. And now there are only 51 days left to open water fishing season.

Just checked out other 11 items seller has listed, seem reasonably
priced, someone goofed or big time rigging, proportionately I have a
Golden West Fly reel I`ll let go for $55,000 !

You guys just aren't looking closely enough at those flies. Heck that Mickey Finn is signed by Mickey himself! Or maybe old Leon Leonwood Bean tied these streamers, which would certainly add some value to them. :lol:
