2,000+ fabric selvage strips

I have seen numerous post for quilters wanting selvage strips. There are a whole bunch of them up for sale....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E:B:SS:US:1123

I have no connection with this seller. Just thought someone on this board would be delighted with this item.

Yep. I'll bet they think they're bidding on the entire lot as shown -- which is how it should be -- rather than on just one of the boxes.

If you were to assume that each of these strips was 1/2 of a Jelly roll width as it appears that some of the strips are about an inch or so wide. 2000 strips would equal 50 jelly rolls ( 40 strips per roll) divide that in half as the strips are half size, this would be the equivalent of about 25 jelly rolls, so that is not really a bad price especially in Canada. Or is my math totally off???
