I wonder if it'll go for more than a Hardy Artisan!

Anybody paying 720 quid for that needs his head examined.

Some eejit will buy it.
There was another chancer selling a card of that "special colour indispensable" wool for tying Frank Sawyer's killer bug for a similar sum a year or two back. It sold. I wonder if the guy caught anything? :roll:
have seen a few lengths of it at silly prices as well. Here you go;

Some eject did buy it. The wings were fucked on it as well.
Some people are mental.

I hope that bugger washed these socks! :lol:
What item are we looking at ? :?
Who cares that someone bought it, I want to know how the hell it can be a 'collectible'?! What makes it so desirable as opposed to tying your own? Although going by that auction, I'd take a stab that someone sees it going up in value.
I had another look and have seen the item now. I didn't realise you had to scroll down to see it and had only seen the similars before.
That is some price for a fly though, especially one which is over 100 years old. Just think how much it would cost for a new one :shock:
Am just gonna shake ma heid at that !!! Utter nonsense !
It must be a Megan body or similar. Nw Scotland so in the area but still far too much.
Just think, by 2090 folk may be bidding into three figures for one of Malcolms pink rubber legged salmon flees, at least theres a godd chance it may catch something :D
