    A local quilt shop sells these for $1 a piece. If it is fabric I like I buy them. they just have a big box under a table or in a corner and people like to dig through. I like finding several of the same cards so I have enough for a little top or I put cards together that will blend. I think selling by the bag will not work as people might not like everything in it unless it is from the same line and it matches.

    I have bought boxes of these salesman samples off Ebay and they are usually stapled onto the cardboard header. I do scrappy quilts and buying fabric like this, gives me 'some' of all the fabrics in the line. I've seen them range from 6 inch squares to 6 x 12pieces, up to 12 x 18 inches pieces. I love to find deals like these, so YES...I would buy them in a heart beat!!

    I would buy them, you bet. I'm a scrappy kind of quilter, so I can find a project for almost any size.

    I buy these all the time, but probably pay less then your contact is asking. Some of them have large amounts of fabric.

    Would certainly buy them .... have made several lap quilts with
    decorator samples (heavier than quilting cotton, more like for drapes, pillows)

    my daughter brought some of these home from work where they were tossing them. I dont think i would buy them but hey for free yes why not. I cut them off where the staples were and got a few strips and a five inch square out of them. all christmas fabric. there weren't really that many but I got a pack of nickles out of them.
