Since the price of just about everything is going up these days, I decided to have a saddle sale. The price of hackle has jumped this season due to many factors like energy, commodities and bankers making loans to just about anybody that can sign the papers. Not sure what a credit default swap is so swap your cash for something you really want like some new hackle.
So I am saving you some bucks. I will keep running this sale until I run out of stock. Email me your choices.
