If you tend to wax nostalgic (like me) you’ll appreciate this brand new vintage electric coffee pot, I’m guessing from the 1970’s. Imaging unboxing this and making a nice cup of percolated coffee like you just brought it home from Sears.

Revere copper cleaner on eBay
We get a fair amount of inquiries for the Revere copper cleaner. As far as we know it has been out of production for some time now, and isn’t available.
If you really really love it more than any other copper cleaner, there is one package available on eBay right now.
Revere Ware auction chuckle
I love the use of this stove to show cookware for sale. And that second picture, what a treasure. 🙂
Best of Revere Ware Parts blog – More and More Revere Ware on eBay
It’s instructive to look back on October of 2012, not quite 10 years ago when I posted that more and more Revere Ware was appearing on eBay.
As you can see, at that time, I was talking about around 1,500 listing. Wow, that 10 years has done. Here is the entire graph from 2009 to the end of 2021.
As of today, there are over 15,000 listings today, 10 times more. In fact, eBay doesn’t even tell us exactly how many there are anymore:
There are 4,200 listings for just sauce pans!
1,500, how quaint! 🙂
Deal of the week – brand NOS 12″ vintage skillet
You don’t often see vintage items that are new old stock (new never used). This one is a 12″ skillet from before 1968, for a great starting bid of only $68.85.
Now is a good time to complete your vintage Revere Ware collection
We’ve seen the amount of Revere Ware listed on eBay grow significantly over the last couple of years, amounting to over 16,000 items listed at any given time right now.
If you are considering replacing some damaged pieces, or completing your vintage Revere Ware collection, the availability of used Revere Ware right now is better than I’ve ever seen it.
Nice set of aqua sauce pan | skillet handles
At the prices they are typically listed for, I’m not one to go in for the fairly rare (and sometimes just painted) colored Revere Ware Bakelite handles and knobs that appear on eBay several times a year. But I like the color of this latest set, and the price is pretty reasonable given the rarity.
My best guess on the size would be equivalent to our medium or large handles.
Funny eBay drop shipper listings
If you aren’t familiar with the practice of eBay drop ship listings, sellers take items they can buy off Amazon.com, and list them on eBay for more. When an order is placed, they simply place an order with Amazon.com with the eBay buyers address as the shipping address. All this is done behind with automated software, making it very easy for these sellers to list tons of items and handle sales with a minimum of effort.
But of course, they just make money from unsuspecting buyers that don’t know to look directly on Amazon.com for a cheaper price. Returns can be difficult, and you will get no support from the seller typically. We recommend you stay away from cheesy looking listings like these on eBay. But sometimes they can be rather funny in how inept the listings look.
We also do sell some of our more popular parts directly on eBay.
Much of the time when people list products from our Amazon.com listing on eBay, they just copy everything over. But sometimes, seemingly to attempt to make them more attractive, they embellish them. I found two such embellished listings that makes it clear the people doing this are just doing it en-masse and don’t really check the content for accuracy or to see if it makes sense.
Okay, great, top seller and fast shipping. Does anyone really believe claims like that anymore? It’s like adding L$$K or RARE! to an eBay listing title. Personally, I avoid all listings like that. And what exactly do this icons mean in the context of a product like this?
But now look what they’ve done to the content?
I got a chuckle out of that. I’m guessing that no-one is really buying from listings like that.
Find of the week – Revere Ware nesting bowls on eBay
People love their Revere Ware nesting bowls with lids, as evidenced by the many requests we’ve gotten over the years for replacement lids. Right now there is a new old stock set on eBay with lids, at a very reasonable price.
There is so much wrong here
There are quite a few listing of our parts on listed eBay by sketchy sellers, that are drop-shopped form our Amazon.com listings, when ordered. We aren’t happy about this but eBay (and Amazon) don’t seem that interested in stopping it. The downside is that people pay more than they have to and get zero support from the seller who knows nothing about the parts. Returns can be difficult if they are allowed.
But this one I found today takes the cake:
So that’s one of our stock photos, and the listing text is straight off of our website. But the price! Can you believe that price? Who is going to buy a replacement handle for that price?
Also note that the price is listed in Canadian dollars, but the item is shipping out of the UK.
I can’t pretend to understand in any way how this listing makes sense to anyone.
