Description

Describe the bug

Pretty much what it says on the can. Down feathers individually cost 2.50 dollars, and since a single bird yields around 1000-2000 feathers you can easily earn many many thousands by killing a few geese.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Kill and butcher a goose.
  2. Drag the thousands of feathers you have earned
  3. ???
  4. Become the wealthiest woman on the planet.

Expected behavior

They shouldn't sell for so much individually.
