Amish auctions will sell quilts from from the public as long as they are quilted by hand (no machine quilting allowed). There is one near Clare, Michigan. They keep a small commission of the selling price. However, the down side is that you have no control of what it sells for. If no one bids on it, it can go for a low price. Sometimes I sit there and think "that didn't even sell for the cost of the fabric." And others sell for $1,000 to $1,500 or more. You are at the mercy of the crowd that is bidding.
