I think e-bay would be your best bet. Do you look at Dress a day? [link] People seem to get good money for their vintage patterns.
Or maybe you could try selling direct to Erinaceous.;)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia, I would ask erinaceous, and/or check out her dress-a-day blog [link] to see how other people sell vintage patterns.

Nice crosspost, Sue!
Sophia, I will also say that I've sold one or two things on eBay and bought a few, and it works out fine, even if you don't have enormous numbers of ratings.

ebay is probably your best bet. Because of your inexperience on ebay, maybe you would want to include a note about how you are new to ebay, and maybe offer a return policy as a result. Listing items is really easy as long as you have digital pictures.

I had my face bitten by an Alaskan Husky when I was a wee boo. I never blamed the dog, because I was just in the wrong place at the right time, but I'm still wary of most big dogs.

Other than my own dogs I've only ever been bitten once, by a farm dog when my friend's grandfather had a dizzy spell and I was the only unfamiliar person holding him up. But I have resolved that if yappy formerly feral beagle at my apartment complex gets braver and bites me rather than just snapping, it'll be her final act on this earth.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know I've said this before, but here is the reason I like online dating sites (and similar): Not because I'm going to meet my husband, but because it gets me used to talking to strangers. Which I generally avoid.
Relatedly, I do like the online dating because you are meeting total strangers-- no awkwardness around knowing the same people or seeing each other around. It doesn't work out? You never have to talk to them again. Embarrassed at, well, all the embarrassing things we do while dating? Never have to look them in the eye again. And I really think starting things off in the "dating" space is more likely to lead to a relationship than with someone you meet in a friendly circumstance.

I never had any experience with any sort of dating service. I met Scott when I was 23, and we were married when I was 27. This perspective is interesting, because when I read Kate P.'s post earlier, my initial thought was to wonder exactly the opposite--if it isn't just better to go live your life, do the things you like to do--if eventually, a person would end up in the right place at the right time, with people of similar interests and convictions.
