I went out to the garage to do a little work getting ready for the garage sale on sat. I swear there are 5 million zippers, so I am exaggerating there are probably only a few hundred thousand.
Yes I want empathy!
Oh ya and the fabric the to go pile ought to be bigger.

Seriously? A few thousand? Wow! I would buy some if I were nearby. I bought several at a consignment shop for 10 cents each and was very happy with my purchase.

Maybe you should list some on here..

And here I've been looking for a zipper to put in my cushion!
I have a few in my closet all wrong size let alone wrong color. <sigh>

I bought a copy paper box full of new zippers at a Thrift Store for $5 and have used many. Also gave some away on the board. Great find !!! I know you could sell some.

Hmmmm....zippered block pockets on a doll quilt, to hold the doll's extra clothes....or with teddies peeking out....or with the pulls removed, lined up for railroad tracks....endless possibilities but not enough time to play!

I wish you were close enough as well, in fact I wish all of you were much closer. Here are few pics for you and every one else.

Geeeez. :mrgreen: That might be worth the drive over.
Have fun with that. Hopefully lots of sewers will show up. :thumbup:

That's an impressive assortment of zippers! I've been wanting to try making one of those flower pins made of metal zippers. Looks like you could make a few thousand of them! I wonder what you will be storing in all those containers after you get rid of the zippers.

I bought a bunch of zippers in an auction a couple of years ago. I sent them all over the country in the mail. I bet you would get lots of takers if you offered them for postage plus a bit.
