In our area, quilting fabric and patterns often show up at estate sales. If not weekly then certainly every other week. Some gets cherry picked the first day, but I've not seen a lot of it sell, even on the 50% off days.
For machines, unless you're in a metro area, there's a good chance you'd have to be willing to ship a machine to a buyer. FB Marketplace can give you an idea of pricing and how long machines take to sell (look at the age of the ad). A couple of months ago I purchased a barely used Bernina 790 Pro with extras for 1/4 of what it sold for new. I'd tried to sell a Bernina 830 Record a couple of years ago and had absolutely no local interest in it.
