In my ongoing effort to clear out all my stash fast, I am considering offering flat rate boxes full of fabric. I really want to avoid photographing but thought I could fill each box with one color or all floral, all fun fabrics, theme, etc. and charge one price for each box. It would be a kinda surprise box. Not sure how to charge for this though. The fabric would be 100% cotton LQS quality only. Any thoughts, ideas here?

I like this idea...the little flat rate envies are $5, would hold 4 yards I bet. $25 each?
Just trying to help...don't know if this is what you are looking for but I know the bigger prices are a deterrent in this economy.

For starters, you could fill a couple of boxes with fabric, and then take it out and measure it so you have an idea of how much fabric they hold.
Then you can decide on an "average" cost per yard that you want to charge, and go from there.
