I need to do a massive destashing, and while I've been trying to sell some of it online, it's been slow going, and I really need to get my second bedroom back! (and a little money right now wouldn't be a bad thing either).

I've been thinking of selling my fabric at a "yard sale", but I'm worried that people will come in expecting to pay pennies per yard or something. Is it even worth my effort? If you went to a sale like that, where someone is selling fabric that is LQS quality, what would you expect to pay per yard? I should be clear that this is fabric that I got at a quilt shop that went out of business; I've picked through and taken out what I want (quite a lot), but there's still plenty to get rid of; so it's not like people would be coming to the sale and seeing a couple of card tables with fabric. There's a LOT, practically a quilt shop's worth.

I do live in a major metropolitan area, so I'm sure I can expect some decent traffic. I was planning on posting about it on Craigslist, and am open to suggestions on wording, or how best to get people to realize I'm not going to just give the fabric away (I did pay quite a bit for it, after all, and would like to get close to making my money back). Is there a phrase I should use other than "yard sale"? Are there other places you would post about it besides Craigslist?

(Before anyone mentions this, I'm talking with my accountant and lawyer about the legal side of things. I'm aware I will need to pay taxes on any money I make).

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
