You can buy a new copy of this for $25.99

I have those binders. I would not pay that much. They are old and have only the old traditional patterns.

I got rid of a bunch of those last summer with out the binder. Pay nothing!

This is a case where "greed" is looking for "stupidity" - obviously he won't have any luck here.

My MIL has a bunch of - well, let's just call it what it is: Crap - and she sets her prices at the yard sales waaaaay too high AND she won't negotiate. Then she wonders why she has to haul the crap back in the garage. I stay far away when she has a yard sale. The sad thing is that her garage is so full to overflowing that she needs to pay for a storage unit. I don't think I need to tell you what's in it.....

Agree with the funny reactions here.

I don't want them. So I'd pay nothing. These kinds of notebooks are common at Goodwill or Saver's or Value Village - for a few dollars.

He is letting his emotional attachment to the quilter and his knowledge of how much they cost originally severely distort his ability to be realistic in how much he can get from there.

His best bet would be in throwing them in with some fabric he sells---for free, just to get them out of the house.

I bet you can find all the patterns on line FREE. I think Craigs list is not as good as it was, nor safe much of the time

I have one of the binders. I think it was a pattern of the month type program. I threw out the patterns and plastic templates and kept the binder. The patterns are free online.

I picked up those same 2 binders full of patterns for $1.00 each at the local library sale. At the next sale they had 2 more from Georgia Bonesteel and they were called Spinning Spools - also $1.00 each. I leafed through them all one time and they are downstairs sitting on the shelf. They look pretty sitting there.
It's a good thing you asked.
