Thank you everyone. The person said it was negotiable pricing. When I talked to him on the phone he said that his wife was a horder. She kept it in 18 gallon totes in the house and porch and organized/labeled. I might see if he would let us buy one truck load for $ 250, and NOT all three lol. I'll let you know what happens.

I would take a good look at the fabric 1st and ask questions where it has been stored etc before you buy (unless you know the person). You don't want to get stuck if it is no good.

Sorry, just my opinion, not trying to be mean at all, just cautious.

I could possibly understand a woman stealing that much fabric but, NOT A MAN that doesn't sew or quilt. Do what you think best, there are some negative poeple on this site. Try to understand he may need the money, since his wife died.

There is no way I would buy that much fabric at one time regardless of how good it possibly is. If I did, I could then be considered a hoarder!! I would much rather spend that money buying things I know that I would love and USE!

Too bad you're so far away. I'd split it with you.

This person might be willing to work out a better price though. ...hhhmmmmmm.....
WHERE did this person get the fabric, was it a store they had that closed, or what? I would really be cautious about this, might be a lot of "Hot" fabric, and not from an iron or looks either. That is an awful lot of fabric that someone has on hand, where is this person storing it? Is it in large quanties, like by the bolt or in pieces. If it were me I would have to pass, because I wouldn't have a storage place myself, and would really be skeptical about the whole setup.

We have a local lady who is a hoarder. She has sells periodically to help pay off the rental on her storage units. She's in treatment for her condition. A couple years ago she had 6 large storage units, plus whatever is in her house. She said it was packed also.
