There's gonna be a big estate sale here from a lady who has 3 SMs , bolts and bolts of fabric and all kinds of other quilting stuff, including finished quilts, in 2-3 weeks. I talked to the one company doing the estate sale. Just made my mouth water to think of all the stuff to be for sale. This lady has quilted all her life, and we all know what her stash must look like. Keep breathing slowly, slowly now. in, out, in, out. I can figure out what most things sjould cost at an estate sale run by a company instead of the family, but I have no idea what finished quilts should sell for. I'd like opinions now. If I find a well-made, machine pieced and quilted / binded baby quilt , in great condition, what would be a reasonable price? I understand that wear, stains, and such lower the value and very nice, even hand stitching raises the value. How bout a full size or queen size bed quilt of nice quality? How about a quilt that has won a prize at the state fair or in Houston or wherever?
I just would like opinions because I don't want to pay too much. All thoughts appreciated.
