    I agree with Zipit. bugs would be my giant concern. Specially in FL. I would store it in a storage room -not my house until I was sure there were no bugs-specially bed bugs which are sooo difficult to get rid of.

    I know my stash would fill at least one truck bed. I think it might be one of those really good deals!

    I WOULD NOT buy it sight unseen. The person has invited us to come look at it any time we want. Just need to decide when lol.

    I would buy it once you have a chance to check it out. I recently had an opportunity to buy a ton of LQS quality fabric, but let it slip away. I just couldn't come up with all the money at once and she didn't want to split it up. Oh well. Maybe next time.

    I agree. LOL My Grandmother and my Aunt bought these T.V's one time in Chicago. The man took their money and loaded them up for them. He acted like they were heavy and everything. They got home and they were empty boxes!!!!!!! :shock:

This person might be willing to work out a better price though. ...hhhmmmmmm.....
    Oh, my Dear! I would. I am a fabric junkie. Now I have something else to dream about.

    If in box trucks, I would fumigate the trucks if you buy.
    Bedbugs are NOT a joke......
    You should be able to make a LOT of money if it is good cotton....

    Is it the kind of fabric you would want? And yes, sell some on Ebay to pay for the rest.
