I would offer her about $20-25 a bin unless it's oriental or other material with gold overlaying. If she has more material than you can use I'd be interested in buying material for children's charity quilts, infants-teens in crisis. IS ON Ontario, CA or a misprint?

By all means check these fabrics out. Wish we all could just hop in car and help you. One question I may have missed being answered is: Are you allergic to anything? Does the fabric come from someone who has had birds in the house, a cat or a dog? What about where and how it has been stored? Oh so many questions but yet a good, and highly recommended idea, is go straight to the washing machine and leave everything in the garage until the machine is ready for it.
When I wash unknown fabrics, I cut just a stippen from all the corners so the threads will not ravel all over the place and tie up in the washer-dryer. Better invest in some color-catcher sheets too. Might save a lot of fabrics from one which fades badly.
Good luck and please post a phone of what you end up with.

Geez Louise how far away does she live? Can't you jump in your car and check it out yourself? It may be worth you while in the long run. You would know what you were getting, if the fabric was stored properly, and pick what you want if money is an issue. As a Canadian in my area we rarely see fabric for the prices you ladies are talking about. Good luck homey and let us know what happens.
