Eclectic

The first of my minimal bid lots arrived last month, and it proved to be a very unusual and interesting fabric stash.

There are fourteen yards of fabric in the lot, including two yards of quality tan wool felt and two yards of brand new wide faux suede. I also found a flour sack with no markings, a small burlap sack from Savannah, two linen kitchen towels (one with spider webs), an unfinished apron project (the fox print), two gray and white curtains, and two yards of stretchy gray knit fabric still labeled.

Here's the fabric I wanted, which prompted me to bid on the lot: a Bernatex green gradient that runs about $12.00 a yard new, which is how much I got.

The faux suede is high quality, which runs about $20.00 per yard. I'd have no problem pricing the rest of the fabric at $3.00 per yard for resale, and the other items at a total of $10.00, so I'd say the lot is worth $95.00. I paid $9.99 for everything. Savings: $85.01.
