i guess the other shops would rather let it turn to dust on their shelves than part with it for less than full price. go figure. :lol:
There is often another dynamic at work here. After a year or so, fabric distributors will close out fabric remaining on their shelves at really low prices.
That's how some stores can sell stuff at prices that are much lower than can shops who bought the same stock when it was new. There are web stores who deal in nothing but older manufacturers' closeouts. They're not selling this fabric at a loss, however, if shops who bought it when it was new sold it for the same prices, they would be.
