I have no idea how to go about pricing, I have filed several bags (like bath and body) full of scraps and others in bundles, any ideas as to how you would go about pricing, also lots of patterns and books etc. any ideas would really be appreciated

You could do some researching for selling on eBay. Unfortunately, most shoppers are looking for bargains. You need to achieve a senior member status to sell here on this board and there are numerous rules and regulation for selling here. Good Luck !

How do you obtain different membership status?
By participating on the board. The more your participate your status changes.Originally Posted by Lady Diana
Maybe check with a guild.
I checked and the OP has been a member here a long time, so really, unless things have changed, all she would have to do is start posting more and in a couple of weeks she could sell here. (That is how it used to be anyway...since she's not a new member.)
You can read the rules that are posted for selling on this site:

The staff of this board wants quilters to be an active participant on this site. You need to have a Senior member status not on how long you have been a member here.

it takes more than just an avalanche of new posts. they have to be in the sections that relate to quilting and the should have some substance. a string of only "good job" posts after a whole lot of nothing will not be good enough.
we do not want the QB to be mistaken for a marketplace site.
we do not want to attract people who are here for the sole purpose of sticking their paws into our pockets.
they don't contribute anything meaningful to our community.
here, again, is the link to the thrift shop rules:

Why don't you check the buy sell section of this quilting board--several people sell fabric here and if you don't have enough posts to qualify for selling here, at least it will give you an idea of pricing to the public.
Pricing fabric can be a tricky thing. There are a couple things to consider: where the fabric was purchased, how much you paid for the fabric, and quality (lesser quality fabric can be purchased everywhere). You want to get the most $$, but still be able to sell it. I would think most times, you could sell it at half the price you paid....but that would also depend on your area and how many quilters you think you could get to look at your fabric. Books and patterns I would price at 50% off retail for anything in good shape (I can buy used books at Amazon for 50% off). A well used book/pattern with dog eared corners and writing I would price at 75% of retail. There are simply lots of variables to pricing quilting things....no clear cut answers.
