They have to be kidding, right? e-bay "fabric" auctions
 

I'm with you bearisgray, I can't believe anyone would want it - but then I am not a textile collector.

That looked like something I would have put in the burning barrel!

Possibly someone repairing an antique quilt might pay that - but first they have to find that particular needle in the haystack.

I'm with Bear. I would have tossed it or used it for a polishing rag.

I can't imagine anyone buying that.

I threw better stuff than that away.

it takes all kinds. Some people looking to repair something may not be aware of JA's and fabric stores.

Can't believe what they want to start the bid at. Puhleeze!!!!!!!

From her description, she's too in love with it herself to let it go. (Or 'he'...) :D

If this was April 1st I'd believe it was a joke. I'd just want to know if anyone would actually buy that!

Apparently they know something we don't -- not that I care! :D

All I can say is HA HA HA!!!!

Just wait - someone may buy it.

The written description sure makes it look more appealing than the pictures!

Haha! I'm going to have to pass on this one.

Polishing rag is what came to my mind too. Isn't that similar to what they used to use for final wipe down of a washed car?

I with everyone else. I would have tossed it.

Just like p.t. Barnum said 'there's a sucker born every day"--- or something like that.

It does have 0 bids. I can't imagine that changing.

I'm with the person who would use it for dusting.

From the description, the seller has a collection of things like this. We may see them someday on "My Strange Addiction" on TLC.

"I have a personal collection of various flannel textiles which have been salvaged from old drapery panels, portieres, coats, etc. This is one of my favorites and its lovely and unique/hard-to-find shade."

Wow! you guys peaked my interest so I went to take a look. Interesting, looks as if she found an old trunk with rotting clothes in it and took salvaged pieces to try to make money. The age of the pieces is what she is so proud of. One problem though, most of it is from 1950 to current time. Someone will fall for the story and purchase a piece of history! NOT ME!

I scrolled down to near bottom of page and saw a few more "antique" fabric offerings. The one I really smiled at was the Mexican scraps offering. Ladies, we are waiting time sewing scraps, let's sell them!!

I would use it to cover plants before a frost.

Although I love ebay (I both buy and sell on it), there are lots of idiots out there. Did you see the listings from some Disney Beauty and The Beast VHS tapes for $10,000 and more????

I'm with you. Looks like the lining of an old trunk....

It's either cotton flannel or chamois, it can't be both. If it is chamois, I think you can still get it stores selling auto supplies. It's been a long time since I've bought a piece since I don't wash my car myself. :D

Egads! Count me out on this one, ha ha!

They are kidding, right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is amazing sometimes on Ebay. I have come across some great buys on Ebay over the years but there are always a few that think there product is rare & made of gold. They have their prices double or triple from the quilt shops plus the shipping is so far fetched it must be shipped from Mars! You wonder where they come up with their pricing

[QUOTE=Evie;7625614]It's either cotton flannel or chamois, it can't be both.

They said it was "chamois colored"and "chamois soft". If we could see this piece in person, and if we were fabric collectors, we might have a different opinion.
I see the bidding has been closed as of yesterday.

Whoa!! Unbelievable prices but some are older fabrics maybe not in stock anywhere?

Couldn't believe the condition of the fabric! Thought it was a typo or something. Who would try to sell such junk?

No offense meant but I think someone is saying antique and other fine words to pass off an old piece of dirty flannel. There's a sucker behind every bush and someone willing to take advantage!

I had seriously considered putting up a couple of my DH's worn out t-shirts - they are very very worn and full of holes - I thought they would go nicely with the torn jean look.

Well, obviously it wasn't that good. No one bid on it.

I have a whole lace dress, floor length with long sleeves, and can guarantee it's early 1900s. Might be worth a fortune on ebay eh? The ladies must have been skinny back then, 'cause the only thing it will fit nowadays is my broomstick. And the wearer must have been 6ft tall. Funny that I can't bear to part with it though.
