Has this happened to you?

What a pain in the neck! Sellers really need to be honest about what they have to sell - esp. if they are making appointments for folks to come over. I went to buy 100% cotton fabrics from a woman who was closing her business. When I got there - there wasn't much left and it was all cotton/poly kinda seersucker fabric. I had driven an hour to get there. She was on the phone while I looked at what she had. And I left her on the phone as I got back in my car in disgust. Just be truthful - for heaven's sake!

You're a better woman than I am. My mouth would have gotten away from me, I'm sure. Rude doesn't even cover it. Sorry you wasted your time and money. The fabric probably had bugs in it anyway! LOL

That was one strange lady, how do you sell something to someone and then tell them what they will do with the material? I'd have done the same thing as you only it wouldn't have taken me the hour to leave, I think you showed a great deal of patience - its too bad for her now she probably will never get rid of the fabric.

I think the fabric looked much better to her after you seemed to be interested in it. It was totally tacky to start sorting it after got there, though.
Something sort of like that happened to me a while back - this lady said she had LOTS of scraps - what she had was about the size of a box of copier paper - and THEN she wanted to divide it up between me and her church group.
There was maybe one or two yards - total - of fabric suitable for my purposes. Ah, well.
