Just trying to find out if these are worth anything before I sell them at my yard sale.

These dishes are currently being sold for around $25-35 for certain pieces. If you are trying to sell the set you should be able to get maybe $75-100 for the set. A time back people were posting that Corningware dishes were a gold mine and worth thousands of dollars. This is not true. You can still see a few people who listed some of their pieces online for $1000-3000. These will ever sell because nobody is willing to pay such a high price for these dishes. If you check on eBay and look at the items that have sold you will see that people are getting between $15-35 for one piece that has been sold.
There is some misinformation out there about Corningware and the possible value. There are a few older rare pieces that could be worth money but the vast majority are not valuable. Here is a Snopes article that has more information.
It's certainly worth checking if you find some old sets in very good condition but it is just as likely that you have a common set.
What would be some Corning ware pieces that are rare?
$1-15 each depending on where you are, if you have lids, and if they are pristine.
Any time you see this pattern sell for more online it is click bait or money laundering.
Wouldn't it be nice if these $4,000 to $30,000 figures were real!
Lots of the several thousand people owning these pieces could plan a nice vacation!
Pghgirl is totally correct in her message as none of these high prices/sales are for real. All you have to do is look at the majority of the seller's feedback score (usually 0) to know that it is actually fraud in one manner or other.
There are presently over 6,500 eBay listings for this pattern alone an thousands of all the other Corning Ware patterns. Most are listed for reasonable prices but still just asking prices and only a sold price for the exact same item can tell you what someone was willing to pay = current value. One big problem is these dishes are never really the same as condition can make a big difference.
Your bowls look well used and would have to be really cleaned up to even expect the current value when listed for sale.
Here is the link to eBay's current listings: You can place a watch on any items to see if it sells.

I would suggest you sell your dishes at your yard sale and price them individually but take a discount if someone wants several pieces. This way you have cash immediately (where it may take months/years to sell even one piece online.
Maybe price pieces with lids higher on first day and lower prices if no one is showing any interest.
Good luck - seems like a good time to have a yard sale.
This set is still collectable among buyers . The set is being offered on etsy for $130 to the low $200's . Also Replacements gives you the prices of new ones to give you a better
idea of the worth . You could sell them out right or maybe a auction/bid sale , for best price. www.replacements.com/
Yes those if they start with a p - in a black stamp, well those are original ones and are the most valuable be smart when pricing n selling them if you do be sure not to short yourself. I'm unsure as to the value exactly but I do know that p- are the most valuable and are pure vintage. Good luck.
