1 овчинка выделки не стоит
погов.cf. the game is not worth the candle (the candles); it's not worth powder and shot- Это какая птица, значит, будет? - прибавил Рябинин, презрительно глядя на вальдшнепов, - вкус, значит, имеет. - И он неодобрительно покачал головой, как бы сильно сомневаясь в том, что эта овчинка стоила выделки. (Л. Толстой, Анна Каренина) — 'What kind of bird may it be, pray?' added Ryabinin, looking contemptuously at the snipe: 'a great delicacy, I suppose.' And he shook his head disapprovingly, as though he had grave doubts whatever this game were worth the candle.
