Not knowing what patterns are in the collection, I would not pay very much considering there are so many free patterns available on-line and a lot of new patterns posted at reduced prices in the in the For Sell or Trade section of our board. Also, you would need to add postage on top of his price which would increase your total cash outlay. You can buy a lot of quilting books with multiple patterns in them for $300 especially if you go to the 1/2 price book store.
