Where to sell quilting supplies?
Hi Quilters, The world lost an amazing quilter when my mom passed. I will never meet the criteria to sell on this site, so I'm looking for your collective wisdom about where I should try to sell some of her machines, racks and other tools of the trade. I appreciate any insight you might have.

I am so sorry for your loss. Saying those words just does not seem like enough, having last my Mom a few months ago.
I understand what you are faced with. E bay would have been a full time job to sell it all. An estate sale may be your best /fastest way to sell it.

I am sorry too. It is hard to lose a parent at any age. Was your mom a member of a guild? If so they will definitely be able to help. Even if she was not a guild member, try to find a guild in your area and let them know that your mom's quilting supplies are for sale.

I too am sorry for your lost. It is difficult to find people willing to pay what the quilts are worth. You can try eBay. You can put a model of a sewing machine in such as Bernina 1530 and on the left side, one of the options is Item Sold. Click that it will give you the history of what prices that model sold for. Quilts stores and quilt guilds are a good place to start. Welcome to the board.

I have purchased quilting items from a Craigs List posting. The lady had bought out two estates of avid quilters. She actually set up times and appointments to keep it manageable.
