PSA: Stop calling every old Pyrex bowl a "rare pattern" when it's just the basic stuff
I was at a church rummage sale last Saturday and this lady had a set of the plain blue Snowflake pattern from the 80s marked at $45 per bowl. I tried to tell her those are about as common as dirt and sell for $5 at any thrift store but she got all defensive. I have been collecting Pyrex for about 12 years now and I have seen so many people overprice the common stuff because they saw one eBay listing from a seller who thinks they hit the jackpot. Anyone else run into this kind of thing where folks just assume old equals valuable?

Gotta side with @henry_webb68 here, my grandma had the same dish and called it "the ugly one with the flowers.
