most of the yard sales i have stopped at with fabric the fabric was priced by the piece - not by the yard- i have never seen any priced that high- i've bought 1 1/2 - 2 yard pieces for $2- $3 each-
i know location always matters-
and people tend to expect deals at yard/garage sales-figuring you are trying to clear out and what doesn't sell usually goes to a thrift store...priced to sell-
if you want to make some money from your fabric there are better places to sell it- here, ebay, guild sales,
or advertise your yard sale as a 'quilter's sale'- detailing in the ad what you have to offer & perhaps include (quilt shop quality items)
just like people who are trying to sell antiques cover that in their ads- otherwise they would not sell anything...you need to 'draw in' the right crowd.
