I have been to several estate sales where all of the fabric was sold for next to nothing. I told one lady who's mother was in the rest home to tell her mother the person who bought the fabric would make sure it went to a good cause. Also, I have seen many people's collections of "stuff" from all over the world for sale at garage sales. There children do not want it or have no place to put it. At least someone who buys the "stuff" wants it.
