My little shop that I go to in a town with a population of about 3,000 has prices on new bolts at $12.50 to $14.00 a yard. She has no choice. In order for her to make any sort of profit, she has to charge these prices. I bought half a yard of some new stuff... I love it, but sighed when I gave her the card and paid $36.00 plus change for some leads for a marking pencil and 3 half yard cuts.
