I see people selling fabric on eBay that I Know came off the $1/$2/$3 table at Walmart (because I have a piece I wanted some more of I got from Walmart in the 90's) in 1997 for $12 a yard.
That I do find a
bit ridiculous. I am not going to pay some of the "cloth of gold" prices I see on eBay and Etsy, but there is definitely a market for really popular desingers' OOP patterns. I want all the Ghastlies line, but I am not paying $25 for a fat eighth, for example.
