    Depends on what you want. I believe that marabou is very small and not strung. So if you like it then get it, but I guess that regular job must be a distant memory with you wanting pounds of marabou, LOL!

    I bought some bulk marabou some time back from a feather supplier, and was not happy on the size of them. 1 to 4 inches advertised and I recieved mostly 1 to 2 inch feathers. Very few were long enough to tie into jigs. 1 pound, are you making pillows?

    Look good quality strung marabou wholesales for about $63 +- a little so when you see $17 a pound then you should have something telling you that it may not be what you think it is. I have seen some of there marabou feathers and that $17 stuff is very small feathers. If that is what you wan though then you should get it.

    I talked to a feather wholesale guy the other day and ask how much for strung neck hackle and they said something like $40 something. I ask how long are they and the answer was 3"-4" maybe a few 5" so I ask well how much for 4"-6" strung neck hackle and the answer was on that is $87 a pound. The place I buy from is a tiny bit more than that, but I know them and like what I get. Mostly though I stick to the package and only got one color of marabou and 3 in neck hackle by the pound and just got them.

    Those zucker products are what you find in JoAnnes fabrics. Some of them can be pretty cheap.
