    I checked out the website and they must be in Hollywood on Rodeo Drive because every thing is so so overpriced.

    It also was curtains, which means there will be a fold line you cant get out, its yellowed too. were edges hemmed? and you still pay the postage with that enormous price. eeks!!

    If you notice, they have only sold 609 items and already have a rating of 97, that tells me a lot.

    I love vintage fabrics but would never pay this much for 2 yards!!!! I will just keep my fabric until it becomes vintage and then have my own vintage stash to choose from. LOL!! :mrgreen:
    #1 it's ugly. #2 it's only 36" wide which makes it truly vintage. But it is probably rotted at the folds, if it has been wrapped all that time. Remember there was no such thing as acid free wrappings back in the day. Maybe someone will snatch it up, but it sure won't be me.

    Hello Sherri
    $10.00 a yard? Yes you are correct, that is not much compared to this EBay rip off. She has a feed sack that originally was $150. Now reduced to $132. I have a feed sack with yellow roses: Wonder if she would give me $100 for it? No, is my guess.

    I'm thinking it was a misprint too. At least I hope it was. I can't imagine paying that much for a yard of fabric. But if it's new, I know of a place that might have exactly that fabric for $10 a yd...lol

    I believe it. A few months ago I was looking for some NY Mets fabric to make a pillowcase for a very sick kid. The only Mets fabrics in the shops are fleece but I needed cotton. Took a look on ebay and they wanted $45 - 50 for less than a yard.

    You never know when you're selling on eBay what will sell and what won't. I put on 3 vintage (I think we on the board placed them to be from the 50's) up for sale and now with 14 hours to go, no bids. It's almost 6 yards and I was asking a minimum price of $25 but I must have done something wrong. I'd take advise from pro's.
