Please make sure your aunt will not be upset by seeing her things disappear. My sister knew that she was not going to win her battle with colon cancer, but she held onto her 2,500 quilt books & would not let us sell any while she was still alive.

So, if anyone could help me find a place to list and sell, I would greatly appreciate it. I know that this is for quilters and there are rules for selling. And since this is something that she can't do anymore, I need to move this out, so that it doesn't remind her of what she can't do. Thanks for listening.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!
Please wait until you have become a "regular member" before you post the items for sale so that we can all have a chance at your aunt's quilting supplies. If you don't wait besides the ad being pulled you can be banned from this site.

eBay is a great place to sell quilting items. That's where I've bought most of the quilting books, supplies, and fabric that I have. Also, check out www.yardsellr.com (**notice the last "e" is omitted in the word "seller" in the Web address.) That site doesn't charge seller fees. On the first page that shows up,click on the "About" tab. On the next page, click on "frequently asked questions." On that page, you will find information about selling on that site. yardsellr.com has posts that appear on facebook on the pages of people who have an interest in quilting. Good luck selling!

an ad placed before the member is eligible will most likely be deleted. however, if it was an obvious mistake, we also contact the member to explain the process. we would only ban that person if she/he kept reposting deleted advertisements in a blatant attempt to ignore the rules (which indicates to us that they do not respect our members), or if it seemed too much like a scam.
read the rules and ask questions if something is unclear. We moderate in order to keep the board a safe and happy place. We also believe in second chances. Everybody needs one of those every once in a while. ;-)
