I frequently buy fabric on the "for sale" site here. When I am interested, I private message the seller. There is no need to respond to the thread itself. Are responses on the thread what you mean by "action"?

Location for selling here is
Members Only Thrift Shop and Yard Sale> Items For Sale or Trade
There are rules that management has set so that this is more of a garage sale than a retail store.
Here are the guideline for selling on this board:

Stash
I live near Kansas City and a recent article in paper was about a family that when their mother died, she left 1,500yd of fabric! So they rented a store front (plan to sell other items once sewing stuff cleared out) and are selling it at $2/yd.
That seems to be the going rate around here at estate and garage sales too

Personally, I would try to sell locally first -- benefit your community. Selling by the yard would require that you either measure each piece in advance and mark it, or measure each piece as you sell it... a lot of time and effort. Seems like by the pound makes sense. Would suggest that whatever you have left goes to the local guild for projects (you already belong more than likely) or donate to Goodwill, church group etc., that once out of your stash, never to return to the collection! Then you can enjoy the use the fabrics you have kept, and others will enjoy their new fabrics.
If you decide to sell on any online site, it will require posting, managing, replying, waiting for transactions to occur, packaging, mailing etc. etc. Your time involvement would be quite extensive.

The for sale section was changed to private message only. In some ways it made sense, because there were people posting "I want it!" and people private messaging "I want it!" so it could be a problem. But people could also post to see what was still available, and the seller could post about things being gone or still available, and that was nice.
