Yes, snow geese.

You were going to spend $5,500 on goose decoys!?!?

Hell yes. I figured I could sell them for $150 a dozen, easy. Keep 3 dozen for myself, and still clear $9,000 for my trouble.

Don't have many snow geese here. I did see a raft of about 500 canadas on the bay this year though.

I'd love to haul ass up on that in a boat with a few guns and unload.

Something like this.
how'd you come across this deal?assateague wrote:And that's why I was willing to pay a Chinaman $5,500 for 100 dozen. But noooooooo, Chung Li couldn't figure out how to paint a damn bill black instead of orange.

And is it still available? We could all go in on it.

Yes, I think that's how it started. If I remember, you could find a dozen full bodies for about $60, but I could never find any floaters. Then I got hooked up with an injection molding company in Shenzen, and we were emailing back and forth for a bit. The pics weren't bad, except for those stupid ass orange bills, that they were adamant could not be changed.
I also wanted just one to see about the quality, but it was an all or nothing deal, so I was out. Which was too bad, because I was already counting all the money I was gonna make selling those bastards.
