My experience trying Craig's list for fabric has not been good either. Similar to your experience and the woman was asking $6 a yard for stuff that cost less then that to start with. She also claimed it was all LQS fabric while it was not. Some was curtains and old sheets and inexpensive fabrics many very old. She had also advertised and shown a picture on CL of what looked like more desirable fabric but she conveniently could not find those two boxes. I did not buy a single piece.
