Flytyingguy, If you're going to the BFFI you shouldn't be disappointed, at least as far as capes are concerned - saddles though will be much more limited. There will be about 80 genetic capes & maybe a few saddles on stand 42.

Sportsmans Warehouse had #2 Metz saddles for $12.99-$15.99 for the past year. They just realized they where selling them for cost and they are now $39.

All too true Darwin. This subject is a major topic of key board conversation on a lot of US based boards. For a prime cape you can get as much as $400 USD on e-bay. Apparently the longer the feather the more $$$ it will command. The other factor is the colour, grizzly will get more than one that's already been died some colour, etc.
