The thing about the modern designers is that they all seem to be similar....They look sort of retro/modern at the same time.

To me they don't have that much appeal. I mean, I really prefer a nice floral print or wildlife print to them, but I'd use them at the same rate as I'd use any other. It is always interesting to see what people will pay.

I once saw a bidding war between some people for John Deere faric. A little bit of fabric went for $100--and I had a bit. I told my family I should sell it...

If you look at the bid history, it is the same person bidding against themselves. It started out at $99.

No, it's 3 bidders bidding, one newbie. And they are ALWAYS clueless. And it's a sort of nuclear bidding war (which are always fun to watch), but not quite.

Some people read VINTAGE & RARE and just jump on the runaway train without doing any research. As if the seller was asking $99 to start with, well, of course he knew the correct value of what he had. So of course you have to bid higher. And higher. Still not doing any research. :roll:

I personally never got the whole Denyse thing anyway.

Have I ever overpaid for fabric on eBay? Got caught up in the moment? Yep. Been caught in a nuclear bidding war once or twice - and all you can do is laugh when it ends.

But I don't think that's what's going with this auction. The bidders really think there is some value in the fabric, either due to the design or it's rarity. <shrug>

Yikes, did I stretch the board? Sorry, I don't see anything in my post that would do it.

mayday

moonlight robbery!!
