How is it any different than selling used magazines? I see them listed all the time on one of the yahoo groups. Personally my feeling is that the original designer got her cut when the magazine paid her at publication. How many times is she supposed to get paid for the one design? As long as it is the original and no copies were taken and kept I see no problem with it. We sell our used books, used magazines etc, why not the individual patterns. I would rather pay for one individual pattern I was looking for than to have to buy a whole book to get it.
