I have not checked before buying here, but I will only buy what I feel is a reasonable price. I know that whom ever is selling on here must have bought the item, and they are trying to recoup some of their money. I have noticed people selling for as much as an item costs new, and I just skip over those. if the price doesn't seem right, then don't buy. But remember, when you buy on here, you are supporting another quilter, and I do like that

if i'm considering a purchase from another member here, i don't think of the fabric as "used". make my choice based strictly on whether or not it's priced within the range i'd pay for brand new from a commercial vendor.
if the fabric has already been washed, i consider that "value added".
as long as the item isn't priced above current retail value, i figure it's fair.

IMHO and that is just, what I found out, especially books seem to be quite expensive, to say the least. Before buying them over here, I check Amazon, and most of the times, the books there are way (!!) cheaper, like half of the price here or even less. Just a thought, b/c I dislike the idea of somebody taking advantage of your good hearts and trust. Like PatriceJ says: "You are all free to choose for yourselves. I, for one, do not intend to buy anything from anyone who seems to be trying to take advantage of us or this section."

As for the fabric. I have purchased some here, but only if it is a familiar brand and the price is fair. I doubt anyone here would attempt to cheat us, but people everywhere have different ideas of what their sale items are worth. 8-)
