Last Thursday PM, I spotted all these on a lower shelf at the local Goodwill. It wasn't all 'peaches & cream' buy. There was one of those dreaded, little blue-haired ladies with a giant cart comin down the aisle. She stopped just short of the Corning Ware. I had an important, quick decision to make. Since she was payin no attention to me (I didn't really believe that, they are definitely out to get me), do I get down on my hands and knees to inspect everything and risk bein run over and possibly seriously injured by a giant grocery cart or do I wait for her to hopefully pass and not check out 'my' Corning Ware. I decided to risk, life, limb and injury and check out the Corning Ware. All pieces were in excellent condition! So I bought 'em. I knew I had some lids at home that would fit and there were only a couple that I didn't have lids.
The lady turned out to be a nice, if for no other reason than that she didn't run me over. She made the comment that those sell well on eBay. I said I know and that is why I am purchasing them. She said she used to sell on eBay, but developed some health problems and gave it up.
The next day I went back, hopin to find a lid or two. Right there in plain sight was another piece of Corning Ware. I don't know if I missed it the day before or it was put out that day. At the checkout, the clerk said she put out what she thought was a set. I told her I bought them all yesterday.
Now I hafta find some shippin boxes for the larger pieces. So far, no luck.
