There are also some people on the board that own fabric stores. They sell fabric here at a deeply discounted per yard price because it's the end of the bolt or they're just clearing shelves.
Others, like me look for bargains out there like Craigs list, yard sales etc. If I find Moda or similar fabric for $2-$3 a yard, you bet, I'm gonna buy all of it. I'll pick through it and put the rest up here for exactly what I paid for it. Yes, I have sold fabrics for $2 a yard here.
I just got four bags of 2 to 2 1/2 yd. pieces (almost all Moda) from a lady who posted on Craigslist. Apparently a LQS somewhere here in Texas, walked out on her business - she left everything, fabric, tables, everything including a washer & dryer and even some personal items. The owner of the building asked her daughter to clean it out and get it ready to release. I only found her after she'd been already selling for a month so she didn't have much left, but my DH said "If you want to tell the rest of this, I'm your guy" She couldn't come up with a price. He offered her $300. She said oh I don't know, I'd have to add all this up - so I better not... Still it was priced $3 for the pieces that were 2 -2 1/2 yds. Problem is - there's a lot of good guy colors in there which I don't usually buy so I might have to keep all of it since I have 2 sons and a DH that are ready for new quilts.
It's just a way for me to be able to afford the nicer LSQ fabrics without paying an arm and a leg for it. I don't do it often, but when I make a good score - we all benefit from it. (usually).
