PrettyPatternShop, I've actually written to sellers telling them they're pricing their stuff too cheap. Especially when the words "Grandma's Collection" or "from my mother's sewing room" are mentioned someplace in the description. I believe all sellers should get what their items are worth if at all possible.
However, on the other hand, once I wrote to a seller on eBay about a box of old embroidery transfers, mail order Alice Brooks etc., that she'd listed buy it now. I told her they were quite valuable, and would go for big $ sold individually, and she wrote back telling me she couldn't be bothered, and then sold me that lot plus even more she had on hand but didn't list, for a ridiculously low price. I sold them individually, and they kept me in peanut butter and cat food for a time I'll tell you.
Now, here's a lot of patterns closing today, and there's even more for sale by this particular seller. Just click on the link "see other items" to the right of the description to see all he's listed. Some big collector's collections. Betcha they all go for big bucks.
