Maybe it's just me and I'm new to quilting but when I see some fabric listed here that someone is selling for $5 or more a yard that has been in their stash for how long I just just look at it and think to myself that I wouldn't pay that much for it. I wouldn't want anyone to give it away but I'm sure that they bought it cheaper and why should I pay the higher price just because cotton is now going up. I can drive to town and pay that much for fabric that I can see and feel and have it today without shipping cost. I would love to buy fabric from others because I would love to give the money to them as to a store in town. But on the other hand if someone is trying to get rid of fabric they no longer want or will never use it makes sense to sell it at a more reasonable price. Since I'm a newbie I'm still having a problem spending all that money on something that may sit on a shelf for who knows how long only to find I don't like the fabric or my taste have changed.
