Goodwill Auction Site Has Fabric
If you live in Fort Wayne, IN, they have an auction listing for tons of fabric

But no matter where you live, there are some great things on this site - including a Featherweight that looks really good. It's missing a shank but you can get parts for these machines easily enough.

They may have some great items, but by the time you calculate their shipping which I feel is high, and add a 5 percent buyers fee, sometimes they aren't as good a bargain as they first appear to be. For example shipping of $6.15 on embroidery floss at the 1lb shipping rate, you most likely could get it all in a flat rate box for less. Just my two cents worth for the day. I didn't see anything I would consider the price worthwhile on when I went out there to look, but maybe I am too frugal and others aren't.

I've had the same experience - if I want to buy something from the site, I just automatically figure it's going to cost me double. One way to get around the shipping cost is to narrow your search to only your local Goodwill - they do allow you to pick things up.
