A bargain is always nice, but to steal some one blind because "he does not have a clue of it's value"...really....MY dh knows the value..and so do my kids....I make sure they know...

Think about this - your $80,000 worth of stuff may not be my $80,000 worth of stuff. I don't think this is taking advantage of anyone. Most don't want to go thru the hassel of selling each piece. It happens every day and I think most would love that you would do something with it. Fabric or otherwise. Burning it is not an option in my book. If I ran across a deal like this I would make a quilt and donate it in the persons memory - maybe that's just my karma wanting to come out. I've read where some families have held yard sales and had this organized and that's fine, but some just don't want to be bothered.

I've instructed my daughter who is a quilter to take anything of mine, then give rest to quilting friends.
