Hi Gang,
I have a friend and a fellow stitcher with a problem. She's in the midst of
a nasty divorce.
Have any of you heard of the needlework being listed as part of the
community property settlement? Who did the evaluation? She was told property
has to be valued at "garage sale prices" so I can't see how it could be
worth much of anything to anyone but her or someone who loves her.
My thoughts would be to use eBay for prices on comparable pieces.

All property or just her needlework has to be valued at "garage sale
prices"? And who told her that? I've never heard of such a thing.
Current market value, yes - which is a different ball of yarn (to keep
in the theme).
As to the current market value - ebay might be a good source, but if
it's something still offered in shops, you might be able to use those
values. Also, yardage of materials (linen, canvas, etc.) should be
able to be priced at a current value - it's still offered.
Email me off list if you want more information.

The ex is a mean, nasty jerk who expected she'd roll over and play dead, not
demand things like half his retirement, the house. She was a Stay at Home
Mom, at his insistence even when the kids left; she's now retirement aged
and disabled due to cancer related ailments. He hooked up with a floozy and
he just moved out, took most of the furniture and then hid all the common
assets under his name (stocks, bonds, bank accounts).
On the advice of several of us, she found a pit bull lawyer and fought back
for the money. He managed to convince his son to keep the grandchildren
away.
Linda - I might put you in touch with her off list with her permission.
