On one 12” square, with a
spinning center, it gave patterns for sizes 6 mos to 48 (both men and women),
for cardigan, round and v-neck styles, all long sleeve, and for yarn weights of
fingering, sport and worsted, and in choices of set-in sleeves or raglan
sleeves - 360 patterns in all, on just a square foot of cardboard, easy to
stash in a project bag. And each one comes in its own plastic slip-bag for protection.
Back in the day, they only cost a couple of dollars. Now
they are 1-year shy of 50 years old.
Well, I found the two Jane and I had back in the day. And I
planned on putting them out there for sale before I closed my Etsy shop. Now I
hope to maybe list them on Facebook.
The Question:
How much should I charge for them? I have seen these,
believe it or not, just last week on eBay, etc., for between $35 and $75! Yes,
I realize they are “vintage” and when you tack that onto a description,
anything goes, price-wise. But as much as I need funds, there’s no way I can
justify that.
So, my knitting friends, even though you wouldn’t need
either of these nowadays, what do you think I could/should ask? The shipping
will be tricky - they weigh nothing, but I’d want them in something sturdy so
they wouldn’t bend. I’ll be pricing that this coming week.
I stopped using them when I stopped knitting, but Jane used
them a few times. They look just about new and not faded and still easy to
read.
Oh, folks should know that everything is made in pieces -
you’d have to love the challenge of “piecing
together” a sweater to use one of these!
Can’t wait to hear what you think.
