The 30's apron pattern sold for a reasonable $21. Did anybody here buy it?

$240 for an apron ??!!
I really wish the vintage can go back to what it used to be: Affordable!!! All these folks who are just riding along the vintage "trend" bandwagon are hiking up the prices on things!!

I agree that sort of pushed me out of the original vintage market, prices have almost doubled over the last few years

Doubled over the last few years? More like the last 6 months.
Case in point: I mentioned pattern booklets on my blog like 6 months ago as being the next big collecting thing, and lo and behold, they now go for 10 times what I used to pay. I could get a group of them, 10 or 20 for no more than $1 each. NOW people are selling them $20+ a piece! It's insane!

Interesting - I'd never found them going that cheap. One reason I never started collecting them in the first place.

Really?
I amassed quite a few for a fraction of what I pay now. Online, people would just skip over the listings and I could get 10, 15, 20 for $25-$30, if that much.
Now they are as much f not more than patterns themselves. *sigh*

Perhaps because I was really only interested in brands like McCall? I suppose they are considered some of the 'classier' patterns.

True, those early and mid 30s McCall pattern booklets with their amazing graphic covers are quite delicious.
These are the ones I have and I think the one on the far left was the priciest one, at $6. Those days are gone!

I get it that pattern collectors are hard core, but come on. You are really just paying for the envelope here.

Ha, and I always think that the prices some people over here pay for pattern magazines are ridiculous. But compared to that they are a bargain .

Fab-u-lous McCall pattern there, LD. They are soooo beautiful, not just the illustrations, but the actual designs are good and always make up nicely.

I think that's a crazy price! lol
Its an after 5 dress and not that fancy to boot.
I have no close as to why it went for that much.
