    You have to check this out on ebay...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/HARRY-POTTER-HED...item3369ddba7d

    Seriously? $45.00 for 1 yd!! I know the print has metallic gold throughout because I have a FQ of it but I didn't realize that it was 24karat gold!! Would anyone really pay that?

    And another one!!

    The whole Harry Potter line was sold at Walmart when the first HP movie came out. I bought yards of each print to put away for my DGD to have one day. I have the panels too. I paid maybe $4 a yard. It's 100% cotton but kinda stiff and most of it has the glitter in the print. I don't buy much fabric to age but I did buy yards of each print of the paper doll fabric to put away. I do it to leave something a little special from me to my DGD. She likes to fabric shop but not to sew or quilt so much now.

    Insane. I seriously hope that no one buys it for that price. Someone is running a scam.

    If someone wants to pay that amount then why is it a scam? A movie production company would pay that and more if the fabric was needed as a prop for a movie. The first place scene decorators look? Ebay.

    It's not a scam. Whatever the market will bear.

    Most of the Major League Baseball prints are Out of Print also, and they sell for the same...my DH paid $45 for a yard of fabric...don't remember which team, but yes, he actually did it!! I was floored, but then I saw what some of them go for. Look up New York Yankees fabric and you will see astronomical prices...or Boston Red Sox. Same.
