    You won't get much for them on Ebay either. It's a buyers' market.

    If it were me I would take a chance and wash them myself.

    Good luck with whatever you do.

    I knew that would be the case after seeing the amount of competition. However, I feel like I have to try multiple places like ebay. I will also try local trade guide too.
    Thank you for keeping it real for me.

    In my experience, Ebay is good for things that can be described with a key word that people can search for, Coach purse, Micky Mouse watch.

    Quilts and other vintage linens do better in a place where people can see them in person. Are there any flea markets in your area where you can rent a booth for one or two weekends, that would get a lot visitors?

    When I was there and when I go by via car I know of one but I never see any customers go there.
    I thank you for the advice. I will have to further investigate. Thank you.
    Regards,

    Do you have any auctioneers in your area? You may do much better if people can actually see the quilts in person rather than only online. Auctioneers generally charge a selling fee and can help you with what the quilts are selling for in your particular area. Good luck.

    I don't know anything about selling vintage or heirloom quilts. Around here we have antique shops and malls, lots of little vendors in one large building. Are they a good selling place?

    Unfortunately, I don't think you will get much money at yard sales.
