I wouldn't pay very much for it at the Goodwill.

I have this commercial quilt and bought it for $15 at a flea market in 1986. It has sentimental value for my DD - she was 2 years old when we bought it.

The only value I see in it is sentimental for the one who loved it to death. Give it away to someone who wants the warmth and likes Mickey Mouse. Other than that, I doubt if it has any worth.

I was at an auction recently where a Roy Rogers quilt with the stuffing coming out went for 1425.00. I wouldn't be surprised if this is from the forties or fifties it has a good value to a collector.

Don't think it has much resale value, only to a tried & true Disney collector who does not have this and wants it.

I didn't mention that it was brand new. If he didn't have the print you wanted, you could order it and pick it up the following week.

A standard quilt goes for 5 cents per square inch. This isn't pieced so I don't think you can value it that high. You may need to come down to about 3 cents per square inch.

I don't think a used commercially made comforter has any value. If it was new, maybe to a person who collected Disney.

Unless there is something we don't know or see about this comforter, it's not of much value at all.

Me too. :-D
