Here's what I think- her husband told her she had to put some of her stash up for sale but if it didn't sell she could keep it. With those prices she's safe.
Or- she lives in fantasy land. Very few people can afford to live there so inflation is inevidable |
Thats crazy

I won't even buy it out of a clearance bin. Don't like it at all.
|
Out of my price range. Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm... I have seen fabric like this -- on Mom's kitchen window. Don't know when she put them up, but I made her a new pair in the 1960's because I could not stand them any more.

You have got to be kidding! That's crazy! Oh well, you know what they say. "A fool and his money are soon parted."
|
I bet they ment 10.00.

Crazy. % rate bad and it also says "No returns". Who would buy that for that amount and it's ugly to hoot.
|
Sorry.... That was ugly to "boot"

I saw cotton fabric in Hancocks yesterday for $24.99!

Some people sell on eBay because they think they can get more for it there than they can locally. This may just be an easy out to get rid of it. I see all kinds of crazy prices for things on eBay. I got stung a couple of times when I was first shopping there. You have to know your prices and ask enough questions to know what you are getting. $100 for 2 yds of fabric -- that is really toooo much!!

I would love to know if they accept your $10.00 offer. I have loads of vintage apple pattern fabric which I wouldn't even dream of asking that much for. Please post when you hear back from them.

I am curious as to if this fabric does sell and for what it goes for. At least the shipping seems to be reasonable. I was checking out some of the older feedback and I kind of got the impression that this is fabric (and some of the others they sell) that is being weeded out by a warehouse some place overseas and this person got it for dirty cheap and it now trying to make a dime (okay a lot of dimes) off of it. ~Carol~ |
Oh wow.....that is just ridiculous. I don't think that will sell.
|
I don't think the $100 is a typo. I went in to the vintage yardages she/he is selling. And most of the prices are in that range and higher. I guess they figure, vintage equals money. But those things are so ugly.
|
if it's too precious to cut what good is it-and @ $100 it's way too precious to cut :lol:
|
First listing for this was August 11, 2010. Almost a year, no takers? Go figger!

24.99 - wow thats waaaay high too. What kind of fabric was it at Hancocks??? |
Didn't know you were bidding but just chanced upon this fabric. I offered $12.00 and it WAS rejected. It is rather pretty but not worth the asking price.... Good luck...

That's awful. I've noticed quilting books for way too much.
|
gotta be an error?

A great way to find vintage fabrics is thrift stores in established/older neighborhoods or areas where there are lots of seniors living. Often older women's sewing rooms are cleaned out after they pass away and their sewing items (including fabric) are donated to the nearest thrift shop.
|
I think sometimes sellers post prices just to see if anyone is stupid enough to pay that. I've seen things described as "rare" or "unique" and know perfectly well they aren't, and astronomical prices set to catch the unwary buyer.

This
Fabric is not my "Cup of Tea" |
That piece of "vintage fabric', probably cost$0.25/yard.

I wonder if that's just a typo and should have been $10. $6 for shipping is a bit much though.

http://cgi.ebay.com/30s-Vintage-Nove...item4151f111ba I love vintage fabrics but would never pay this much for 2 yards!!!! I will just keep my fabric until it becomes vintage and then have my own vintage stash to choose from. LOL!! :mrgreen: I'm very confused by the description of this fabric. It's supposed to be vintage with yellowing & everything that comes with being OLD yet in her description she says it's NEW, unused, still in package, etc. |
As you may have noticed no one bought it at this price and I don't think they will for a while. Some people are always looking to make their big profit from someone else. I'm with you hang on the your stash until it becomes vintage and every one will think your rich because you can afford to quilt with vintage fabric. :D
|
OMG, that has to be a typo. It isn't even attractive. I'll bet it is on the list for a loooooooooooong time.
|
Saints preserve us!! The sellers on E-Bay have gone nuts!!
Surely they are kidding. There is no 2 yds of fabric made that I would pay $100 for and I'm a complete fabric maniac.... |
