I had a garage sale with fabrics priced at 1/2 the original price. Sold alot. The balance was going to charity with a slip for the total yardage and I can write off on my taxes It has to be a 501c charity.

The requirements for selling are a bit too much for me...
I would love to use this board for selling some of my extensive stash, but the requirements are a bit much for me. I look at my posts and I need to post several more times to qualify and it feels phony to me to just post for the sake of qualifying. I do post occasionally when my heart is in it, but I don't want to do it just to qualify.

Exactly my point!!!
i would love to sell on this board, but i have not hit the correct member status yet. i wish that my ebay numbers (100%) could count toward selling here. i have plenty of really nice collections to sell. i guess i will have to wait or list elsewhere. as far as hitting the correct member status, i have read the rules, and i found that i have to make a true contribution to the group. this means that i should not say something like "good job" or "love your quilt" and leave it at that. there is not much i can do to further my member status, so i comment when i have a true comment to make.

I check out ebay for price comparision but rarely buy there anymore. I get fabrics online much cheaper other places and of course local stores. Things have gotten really expensive on ebay now. I usually buy vintage things so I have gone over to ETSY .. Its cheaper and for the most part friendly since its not big businesses selling there. Craigslist is where I just got my bed.. for $65 yeah!! its an antique too. I shop in a lot of different online places depending on where I can get the cheaper price.

I agree...shipping is what is killing everyone...I was going to bid on a bedspread $12.00 that I really liked and was looking for, shipping 16.50. NO Way was I falling for that...they hurt themselves

Just sayin' that to understand the big picture you have to try to view it from all possible perspectives.

I am getting ready for a major de-stash and was looking on ebay to get prices. Has anyone noticed that fabrics are not selling like they used too ? I used to buy a lot of fabric off of ebay and the bidding competition was fierce . Now I am seeing huge box lots of fabric not even being bid on. Just wondering , I really need to de-stash and it is a lot of work to list everything and not get a bid .I have tubs and tubs of fabric and plan to only keep about 10 projects that I have made into kits for myself . I am tired of no room to work and being so overwhelmed I do nothing so the time has come to simplify
