    Read the listing "many have the manufacturers info on them". That is really the only part that most selvage collectors/users want. The other blank selvage is useless. I think the bidders have not considered the wording of the advertisement. It is also not a good thing that the seller puts four boxes in the photo and is only selling one at a time. I dont think much of their honesty. Would not bid even if the box was full of good selvages.

    I emailed the seller and she confirmed that these are 6" long strips of "varying widths". So they are like a bunch of bookmarks! I wonder if the bidders were paying attention... BIG surprise for them if they weren't!

    The way the photo is angled, you can't see over the edge of the box and the strips appear to be long ones, folded-- when in actuality they are 6" cuts. VERY deceptive. Boo....on them.

    Wow, the bidding has gone even higher. I bet the bidders think they're getting all the boxes shown. The description does say "one" box, but from my past experience as an eBay seller, people often don't read. They just look at the pretty pictures. Hope the winner isn't disappointed.

    I too asked the bidder the same question as sewbizgirl regarding exactly what a bidder would get. One box of the selvage strips! I don't know enough about ebay to see why the question and their response did not show up in the "questions and answers about this item" section.

    I guarantee you the bidder had no idea what they were bidding on. Shameful!
