I have the Accuquilt Studio and someone local is selling all their paper crafting dies that would work with my Studio. For very cheap. I'd have to buy all of them for a set price but it would work out to $5 or so a die. Would there be any interest in any of these shapes? Some are hard to see, but right away the duck, teddy bear, cross etc. might work as appliques. I pondering the idea of buying them, selling off the dies I can't use for quilting on ebay and then maybe selling some precut shapes for folks. What do you think?
Many of them would work fine with fabric, some wouldn't work.

I think the stars and snowflake would do well as appliques also.

For me, I would have to decide how many I know I would use and how many I wouldn't. What would I do with the rest I can't/wont use, and would getting rid of them at a potential non profit equal out to the total cost for what I wanted. Such as: person is selling them for 100 total but I can only use 4 so I essentially pay 25 per die. Is that more than I could buy the actual die I want instead?

They're selling for like $10-$15 each on ebay. So, whatever I didn't want I could resell at maybe even a profit... She told me $15 each or all of them for $200. I could maybe offer less.. So, it would work out like $6 per die.

Originally these dies were $40-50 each.

Sounds like a good plan!

The train set would be cute, as well as the beach theme, bugs, cats and dog themes too... I think you could sell a number of these as appliques.

I like the stars and insect ones, but I really love the little trainset.
