    People will pay crazy money for old Pyrex stuff. I saw a bowl my grandma had growing up in a thrift store (it was brown and had mushrooms on it) and they wanted $75 for it

    So yeah, don’t throw away anything in grandma’s pantry. Sell it and blow the money on ketamine and plan b

      My parents (and grandparents) sold antiques, traveled and did the flea market circuit. That brown bowl with the mushrooms, was it this one?

      We sold a ton of those.

            The old pyrex, cookware in general, is actually pretty valuable today. I mean, you’re not gonna buy a home off the sale of Nana’s favorites pans, but you could make a little bit of scratch.

              Nah i don’t sell that stuff, i use it. Matching set of frying pans and a dutch oven from the 1920s from grandmas estate, none of my family or cousins are really into cooking, grabbed them when they put the house up for sale. Just recently scored the matching trivet for the dutch oven off ebay. I gather they’re worth about a grand altogether.

                Oh that’s awesome! I collected cast iron a few years back, but everything is in storage.
