I have this pattern and love it!!
They are averaging selling (SOLD Prices) $14.99 each plus shipping. This is for both the 1.5 and 2 Q size. The bigger sizes fetch up to $20 each.
It is all about condition with the ones that are pristine going for higher and ones with dishwasher scratches and fading going for as low as $4.99.
If you have one of the little range topper pots with the lid, those do so much better, with pristine ones averaging $35-$40 plus shipping.
If you have extra lids that are pristine, they sell faster than the top/bottom together (but since you have both pieces, it is NOT wise to break up the sets.) In this case it is best to sell sets together.
If you do have stray lids, they sell for upwards of $15 each, but it is complicated in that you have to list with all of the numbers from the piece and it is best to know exactly what pattern and size dish it came from originally.
I was trying to buy a replacement lid a while back and learned you can't just go by measurements. The lid "lips" can be different and even though it measures at X by Y, if you don't match the numbers to what you had it may not fit.
Many sellers have no clue what they are selling (meaning they are trying to flip something they found at a thrift store) so I stopped trying to find a lid and now just use foil.
I have read about how these items can sell for thousands of dollars but when you go to eBay to check prices they are not selling for what the websites say they sell for. You can check out eBHay and see these items sell for various prices and some list different items starting at just $8.00 and going up from there. You can see most of them range around $8 to $40 for each item. However, you can also see where some people have listed them for $7,500 for one dish.
Sadly, any time you see items going for huge amounts when the average is low, it is a scam, either money laundering, shill biding, or other bad stuff.
The media gets a hold of these huge sales and puts out these articles about do you have X or Y or Z in your closet, it could be worth thousands.
It has happened with Beanie Babies, Disney Videos, Pyrex, Corning, just about anything. It makes me crazy.
When I teach eBay 101, this is one of the first lessons I teach. Drop the high, high values, and the low, low values and look for the middle ground.
The low-lows are sometimes scams also where someone sells a valuable item for a penny to try to hack your PayPal or your eBay. For a while, they were doing this to collect email addresses to sell to spammers!
Average prices are the average sales and safe places to start!
This is still one of the most popular patterns as far as number of sales and that is an important factor as nobody wants to list an item and see it still for sale weeks/months later.
The best way to know what and how to sell your items is to look for exact or similar items on eBay and place a watch to see if they sell or if they are just 'sitting' there.

Sometimes you can find an exact match on the eBay's sold listings and that would tell you what someone was willing to pay - current value.
You can look at their site on this link:
