20LB of remnants at $40 - a good deal?

[Kwaaked]

I just got a box in yesterday, and got it today because I was out of town.

There is a nice variation of it, and a nice assortment of weights.  A couple pieces don't seem to be upholstery leather at all, and I got a miscut of a jacket sleeve and several others that were garment leather.  A few were hide on and I got several samples pieces.

I'm quite happy with it, to be frank.  What I want it for (learning/soft work) it's perfect.  A few are more substantial, and there is some that can be used for garments or accessory pieces for duffel coats and the like and a few that are smallish, but long enough I can make bag straps out of them easily.  i probably have a single palm full (literally, and I have small hands) pieces that are too small to do anything with, but they can be made into shapes and make mini flowers or the like.

Edit: I also couldn't fit it back in the box once I opened it and went through it...I could squish it back, but the box was FULL>

I got this package

$15 for $20 sounded nice

sounded better when I saw a twitch stream with a coupon code

When ordering leatherwork supplies from https://www.springfieldleather.com/ , use coupon code "kikicrafted" during checkout for $10 off your purchase!

was about $15 shipping

so $25 for 20 pounds of upholstery leather

I came here to specifically ask about processing the scrap into more store-able and organizable sizes

I was really surprised what is considered "scrap"

years ago when I got a load of 'scrap' upholstery leather, about 50kg of it I laid out some pieces of card; A3, A4 & A5. I got several plastic boxes which have lids. I laid each piece of leather onto each piece of card. If it was close to or bigger that the A3 card it went into one box, if it was about A4 size it went into another box, same for the A5 size pieces. Any pieces which seemed about less than half the A5 went into another box

I just posted a more generic post about this in "getting started"

I have things like a whole (side?) that has 90% of it cut out, making an outline if I lay it flat that is bigger than my queen size bed. with total length like 20ft but width varying between 1/4 in to 6+inches

I'll keep your idea in mind
