I noticed several years ago that FQ were an expensive luxury. My LQS was selling them for $2.25 when fabric was around $8/yd. Net profit was $1/yd. You won't find any of the fabric on the bolt, either, since they only cut off the ends of the bolt.
I really did myself a disservice a while ago and calculated the price per yard of charms, layer cakes, FQ bundles and strips. We do pay for convenience there too -- probably because they feel that folks won't calculate the price of yardage when there are all those little pieces. I have to REALLY like something to pay that price.

I have seen fat quarters as high as $5-6 in LQS and even online retail stores.
I've seen fabric by the yard as high as $14-16 a yard.
We have an artist around here that creates one of a kind batiks which he sells at $28-30 a yard and actually sells them.

Most I've seen in general is $2.50ish. I haven't seen too many higher than that. Only time I pay more than $3 for a fat quarter is if I'm buying Moda Marbles fat quarters from a buyer on eBay, but that's also including the shipping.
