That is one of those offers that leave you asking WHY????? I agree if the fabric was going for charity it would be great.
|
I don't believe they have thought this one through..Why would I want to take a piece of fabric that I might have paid $8.00 per yd and get $2.00 credit toward another sale from them. If they just sent out $2.00 coupons I think they might do better. As for the unwanted fabric someone, somewhere is looking for that very fabric!
|
If you bought some of the 25 cent a yard fabric when Walmart was taking out their fabric departments or have some that you bought on a garage sale, or even have some poly/cotton it just might be worth it. I can't imagine taking decent fabric in.

I agree a very weird advertising promo :roll: It is one of those ... what where they thinking :shock: LOL

So let me get this straight: I bring in my fabric which they will buy from me for $2. Then I buy fabric from them for $10 and use the $2 coupon so that I only pay $8. Why do I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick in this deal? |
[quote=sew cornieI got the same postcard this week. I think it also said you could exchange your unwanted cut for someone else's unwanted cut. .[/quote]
Hmmm. I'll need to look at it again. Uh Oh. Recycled already. I read it out loud to my husband to see what his take on it was. I didn't get that, but you might be right. It's still a strange way to get people into the store. |
Sounds like a goverment sale. You give me $2.00 and will sell you this for $8.00.

you pay $2 for it. the government buys it from you for $32,423.57. ***** back to the topic. if it's a chance to trade with others, it would probably turn out to be a blast. can you imagine all the laughter over the different fabs people brought? or the ecstatic joy when somebody finds a fab they've been searching for high and low? if they seriously want you to give them a yard or more of fabric for a lousy $2 discount on ridiculously expensive fabric ... well ... then i guess they figured out a new way to spell "sucker". :lol: |
Yeah, that is weird. No incentive there for me.
