You should see if there are any consignment shops or antique shops near you or even within driving distance.

I think $400 at least is reasonable.

I agree that a consignment or antique shop might be the better way to go for trying to sell something like this,and $400-$500 is a fair price,it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

That's very beautiful! I haven't the know-how or the patience to do something like that!

I wouldn't be able to part w/it after all that work and the beauty of it. Couldn't you keep it or pass it on to become a family heirloom?

I do not even use this. I have had it for 10 years and it has only been on my table twice and that was for pictures.. I was going to try to sell it to beef up my stash since money is tight, but at the price I saw on ebay and etsy I will put it back into my cedar chest and pull it out on occasion to refold it.

I did win a best of show ribbon In the lee county fair in Iowa with this . :thumbup:

I also have one just like it that my mother made years ago. I wouldn't part with it for all the money in the world.

Wow thats gorgeous....reminds me of my grandmother she didn't crochet but, had them on all her tables...thanks for the sweet memory...I am sure you would have no trouble selling it...and I too agree Etsy and Ebay are not a viable selling source but a consignment shop would be better to allow a person to see and feel its beauty

That is georgous. I don't think I would be able to part with it. I have an afghan that my mother made for me in the pineapple pattern and I know that there is no way that I would be able to put a price on it and it is not nearly as delicate as the tablecloth. But then I also have an afghan that my dad crocheted for me about 6 months before he died and it is a very simple square block pattern and I will never part with it either. Things like that that are passed down from one family member to another are irreplacable and like some others have remarked they are also priceless.
