OMGoodness I'd be driving down with a closed in tr so I could be sure of what I was getting. Then I'd offer her some of the ideals the nice ladies on here have suggested.

Thanks everyone for the help, I really appreciate it. tell your friend to FILL Her car! |
If I were in your position I would make her an offer on the whole bulk of it at below what you are willing to pay for it so you will have negotiating room if she asks for more.
Or you can ask her first what she wants for the bulk of it and reverse the process. |
$2/yd in bulk is too much when you don't have a chance to preview it. The cost of shipping is going to be an issue here also. I think a bulk price for a bin is a reasonable approach. They need to get rid of the fabric and you would like to take the chance of liking it. Depending on the size of the bin, $30 to $50 could be a satisfactory price all around.

I just bought an ex quilters stash. I didn't figure out what I paid a yard, but counted the pieces and paid $1. They were sized from 1/2 yard to 4 yards. Take all you can afford especially since you don't have much stash.

I know it is a lot according to what you say - but if it were me, I'd buy the whole thing for a price; whatever she'd agree upon and I'd get a small warehouse or storage facility to put it all in - keep what you want, and sell on here or ebay or???? Make up groups of fabric and tie it together and put it on a garage sale - so much for the lot - you could more than get your money back. Oh I wish I was in your shoes!!! If you need help - let me know! :)

Fabrics this recent wouldn't be considered vintage, so that's not an issue. I agree with other posters, that weight is the easiest method for this transaction. I'm thinking I'd offer at least $5/pound and cover the shipping. Lucky you for finding such a treasure, I'm envious!

yes, u fell into a quilters goldmine. Could be that she doesn't know what she has in all those containers. Unless you get to go threw them, hard telling what you might find. Im like a couple others, if you need some help with it, just let me know. LOL She can make money off it to help her situation. Good luck to her.

I will definitely talk to her about getting her info to all you wonderful ladies.
