[QUOTE=illinois;752030 Clothing patterns have little value for reselling or exchange.[/QUOTE]
You say that now, but wait until you try to find one that is out of print. I have bought garment patterns from websites that deal only with used, out of print, or vintage patterns, and they are often priced higher than when new. When buying them in thrift stores, I peek inside briefly to see if the pattern pieces have been cut out because those usually have at least one piece missing. I do agree with you about "over the counter" prices.
