Featured Wow! Did you all see the Vintage Pyrex on eBay for $2751?

I was watching a Pyrex casserole listed as rare and promotional. It closed at $2,751!!! Not an especially attractive piece either. I wonder if the buyer will pay, they don't always when things go this high.

Search the bay for - RARE Promotional Casserole - in completed listings to see it if you're interested. Here's the link (but I know that not everyone likes links):

Good glory!
I would walk right by that any day... I wouldn't buy it for a dollar! Well, NOW I would...

 

When I first came across it, it was at $890 with 2 days to go. I thought it was at the Stupid Money price then! So how does one know what Pyrex is rare and promotional? Does it say promotional on the bottom, LOL! I guess you have to have a deep knowledge of Pyrex.

 

And no lid

I have never seen the appeal Pyrex has. We have a set of mixing bowls, and they are just that, Mixing bowls.

Probably one set of a couple billion in existance (Maybe I exagerated a tad)

 

I don't know either what make some of the Pyrex piece so pricy
, but the 'Lucky In Love' is another desirable pattern.

 

Unfortunately they don't have promotional on them.
If it is a pattern that you don't recall having seen it is worth checking into.

Neat to see, but I'm still confused. Was this particular design only available as a "promotion" from Pyrex or what? I was expecting some kind of advertising on it, which there clearly isn't.

And Carl's links didn't work for some reason, so help me out here!

 

Hmmm, I wonder why the links aren't working for you. They work for me.

This page has a list of Pyrex Promotional items.

Thanks, Carl, those worked!

So these were designs only available for a brief time in conjunction with a "promotion." I guess you have to be a Pyrex fanatic to even realize there was such a thing.

 

huh well just some more things to watch for. Thanks for the heads up

 

Don, I can see why Lucky in Love is popular because at least it's pretty. CRS, thanks for the links! I'm going to study the patterns so that when I see them, I will buy them cheap and sell them not cheap. LOL, I have a bad case of CRS too. I'll never remember all those patterns.

 

I just put photos from the website on my phone so I can do a quick check when I'm out. Now if I can just remember that I did that.

 

Hi Pam. This a is Carl Your old TP partner.

 

Well, I DID say that I have CRS disease . . . and you ARE in disguise after all.
