louise the thread in the containers is all brand new and name brand but i cannot remember what brand. there was a color scale chart enclosed with the containers. it looks like seller bought every color on the scale. i would not buy any used rolls of thread for resale. how old the thread is i cannot answer that. some of the spools were individually marked from $4-$9.99 per spool (that i could see) and a lot of it is rayon as someone else bought all of the specialty thread including the metallics. there are many varigated spools also.
i may take a look tomorrow and see what they do with the prices. i am sure it will sell on ebay.
okay some of the brand names of the thread are: dmc, mettler and yli (the varigateds).
