Default knotted pheasant tails

Hi all been knotting pheasant tails for a m8 in the tackel shop to tye hopper and such like and had a thought i can do this and sell them on ebay just wondering if any of you"s think this might work and what sort of price do you think i should put them in for .
It would be the full tail and there would be different coloures ie nat,black,olive,and dark claret
just a thought as im not working now and it is the end of the trout season and the tyers are tying over xmas
so please let me know what you"s think cheers richard

I have seen them in my local tackle shop, I guess tou should be able to find someone selling them on the web somewhere.

When you come up with a price from me a line I have nearly run out and tying hopper legs makes me swear in frustration!

Cheers

Andy
