sustraley i have been to few sales like this. at one the husband and new wife were offering yardage at $.50/yd. after so much measruing i started offering lump sum pricing for stuff which she glady accepted. the next sale the woman offered brown bags at $10.00 each with whatever you could fill it up with. and at still another sale the fabrics were priced from $.50/yd to $5/yd all top quality stuff.
i prefer lujmp sum pricing or bulk pricing when i go to a sale like that instead of piecemeal pricing. good luck with your shopping trip.
here is a picture of the last fabric sale i was at. this was a family uniform business and they were clearing out extra bolts of fabric $.50/-$5/yd, everything from cottons to velvets to brocades to ultrasuedes. at the end of the day of selling they had a wholesaler come pick all the rest of it up. i ended up paying for 20 yards ($20) but got much more than that plus about 3 yrds of brocades for $1.50. btw this was only half of the fabric in the garage. i couldnt photo it all.
