Sounds a little too good to be true. But then, sometimes good things do fall into our laps! :D The thing that bothers me most is that he gave you a price "off the top of his head" yet he "couldn't possibly take less for it". That doesn't make much sense to me.

Like the others, I would definitely want to see it, touch it, smell it first. Once you have, and if you're still interested in buying it, I'd work out a fair price in my head and present it to him.

Gook luck and let us know how it all turns out. :-D :-D

How about 1 truck load? Look it over and see if it is quality fabric. Where did he get it? Is it stolen property?

We have a 40 x 40 building - it is not cluttered, YET. Bring the fabric here. We will get bins and sort it. I'll be the manager. Whenever you need something, I will pull it and mail it to you. Of course, I would expect some compensation - like 'pick of the litter'. :lol: :lol: :lol:

P.S. Be sure it doesn't stink, before you buy it.

trust me, you really don't want to go there....and if you do, be sure to ask your tax consultant and insurance agent first....

that much "stash" will not be covered under your normal home owner's policy and most ins. companies do not cover HOME businesses!
you will need a bs license as well...
it gets really complicated....
and you will need to know how that fabric was stored,
each one will have to measured and photographed so you know who the maker was and how much there is...
it will take you the better part of year just do that part...
and yes, you will need a place large enough to store it properly and to have easy access to it and a table to measure and cut and then comes shipping....OY.....the pain of it all!

Are you sure he didn't steal it from a fabric store?

Sounds like some hijacked trucks to me. I'd really check this out.

I agree, definitely look it over and make sure you can use it or at least be able to sell some that you don't like.
