cjtinkle has it about right. The cost gets about doubled and that's the highest price the fabric gets sold for. If it fails to sell in a timely manner, the price gets dropped. A while later the price drops again. Before they, the bolts, are ready to celibate a birthday with us, we push them out the door at a loss. Basics are the exception to the rule. They stay at a slightly reduced price regardless of age to make sure the 'color wall' is well stocked.
