Iam working in my shop this week trying to get things ready so that I can open it this weekend and before summer starts and people start coming in looking for things I need some advice. I cam across this old Flour sack last year and I know that is worth some money just dont know how much and there is a man that has been trying to buy it from me but he wont tell me how much he is willing to pay for it. I have check some places online but I really camt find one that deals with flour sacks if anyone know anything about this kind of stuff or where is the best place to look will you please help me it the price is right I might think about selling it this year. Thank you for any help you can give. I will be back later to answer all replys.

Hey there you got the BR for this one. But about the flour sack I cant find anything on it either but this guy is so interested in buying it from me so I am still working on info about it because I think it has some price value to it. Heck I could sell it to him for 25.00 and then find out he turned around and sold it for a few hundred that would pi** me off. But thanks for looking and your help but if you do by chance find something please let me know. Hugs xx

Hey honey I am afraid that I can't help you with the flour sack I had a look on some sites I thought might help but couldn't ! After reading through the discussion I just really wanted to jump in and say a big well done to you - it sounds as though you really do help a lot of people when they need it most and not enough people do that! Do you actually manage to make a profit in the shop? xx

Oh some days are better then others but I really dont look to make a million with it, My boyfriend's dad had the shop when I met my BF and was selling candles out of it and then 2 years ago we took it over and my BF made it into a resale shop for me. I dont sell anything over a dollar and I do give alot of stuff away for free. It is just a big hobbie for me and I have alot of fun with it. I have always enjoyed helping others out that dont really have alot of money or that are on a fixed income. As long as I make about 20 dollars a month to pay the light bill I am happy and then I have someone happy that maybe needed a lamp or something like that and they either got it free or maybe paid a quater for it. I spread alot of joy around. Hugs!

I went on ebay. They have a hemp homespun linen flour sack for sale at $69. Does your look like an old hemp rope?
And if that guy isn't willing to say how much he'll pay for it, how does he think you're going to be able to sell to him?
You might see if you can find someone online who can give you an appraisal.

Hi High, the sack is not made of hemp it is a soft material. But all the writing on it is seeable and it has no holes in it either it is really in mint condition and it might be a 50lb bag. I am hoping to have my computor tower back soon so that I can download picture of stuff, yes thats right it is being worked on and now they think that it might not be the mother board. I have looked on ebay also and I could not find anything that even looked close to it. Thanks for the help and the reply. Hugs!
