Here's something to make you wonder "what the vendor buys/ one-half so precious as the stuff she sells."
I spread it on the deck to get some of the fust of decades out of it. I sold it for a few cents more than twenty dollars.
Of course, there are remedies. I could refuse to mail it to the buyer, and send her money back. Especially since the sale makes me want to take the damned $20 and process it down the Disposal.
This is the only thing I've sold that caused me a large twinge of regret. And makes me angry. My sister wouldn't take it as a gift.

If I were planning to hang around this [expletive deleted] planet for another three-quarters of a century, I would keep it regardless, and finish it someday. But folks, why bother? Elvis is dead these 33 years, and I don't even feel as lively as I used to.

Keep it if you want! Besides, if you decide to sell it after this recession, you will probably do a whole lot better. And, yes, you'll be around for that!
Keep it if you don't want to sell it. Tell the buyer that you're sorry that it is no longer available.
And Jed's right; it's worth more than 20 dollars and you could probably get mroe than that. Am I the sister that refused to take it for a gift? I know I expressed interest but I forgot what else happened about it. Anyway, when in doubt, don't sell.
Did you sell that quilt?
