Default Flour Sacks

I possibly have the chance to acquire some of these vintage sacks. I haven't seen them yet, but a friend told me her mother brought over at least one tote, said for daughter to put on eBay. I just about came unglued and asked her if I could see it. She said possibly this weekend. If it's in good shape, what would be a good price to offer? I even thought that if there was a lot of fabric, I could offer to make her a quilt and keep the rest. I was thinkng by yellow brick road pattern. What are y'all's thoughts?

Location and condition certainly matters ( normal prices here may be very different than where you are) but, it does depend on how many are in the tote.... Totes come in a lot of sizes....their condition, and what you think is fair. Around here nice flour sacks go for anywhere from $2 to $5 each. They may be much more or less where you live. I've bought really nice, stain free, like new ones for 25¢ each and I've paid $2.50-$5 for others.
