OT: looking for an old skillet :OT

 I know many of you here are very adapt at using eBay which I AM NOT!  I’m an eBay member but have never used it! 

Perhaps I’m really trying to find that proverbial needle in the hay stack…but I bet it is out there somewhere and without disclosing my true interest meaning I’d pay pay a reasonable price. 

It is a weird round skillet with concentric raised "rings" which I’m pretty sure was sold as a set at Bed Bath and Beyond many years ago. 

I had both sizes but S T U P I D L Y put the largest one in the trash a couple years ago! 

In your opinion should I even waste my time much less chance my security on eBay? OR is somewhere better than eBay to go looking? And please don't say Goodwill, SA, garage sales etc! OK?

    Here is a #7 Lodge with the heat ring.

    Here is the 8" shallow skillet that I still have and finally found a great use for. As you can see the surface is rather rough and bubbly and has some form of non-stick coating on it. 


    and then here is the bottom. In the center it reads Made in Hong Kong and then in fine engraving  20 CM/8 in and the words Meyer and CIRCULON


    I know CIRCULON still makes cookware, but not this one. This was part of a set and I believe the larger one which I pitched was at least a 10" or maybe 12" but looked like this smaller one. I'd be happy to buy either size if I could find one.

    It looks like Meyer is still in business. However with a quick glance I didn’t see the pan you are looking for.

    I typed "Circulon Grill Pan" into ebay and there are a bunch of 12" pans.

    What size do you need?

    How many do you want?

    If you don't eBay, I can buy it for you and trade you for a gasket or two!  LOL

    Personal pan pizzas using Mission brand soft tortilla wraps as a crust. On my electric stove this pan keeps the crust from burning, melts the cheeses and even heats the pepperoni slices. I use that pan for my wife’s pizza and then I have to eat the burnt bottom one I make on a flat bottom skillet!

    My honest hunch was that he used it to dry 1,000 dollar 💸 bills. Just an initial hunch though.

    See? I clearly implied that I was naive not knowing how to get around on eBay! Guess I will go back there shopping tomorrow after I have mowed my yard and have taken my Westie in for his annual shots plus toe nail trimming! Getting there and back home will be a REAL HORRIBLE memory trip!

    I would buy on eBay all day long if price is ok with you. Still some deals. Selling, hell no. They issue 1099s now for cumulative over $700 and their buyer protection is totally one sided.

    Bravo RRP, glad you found what you were looking for. I’ve made hundreds of EBay purchases and have never been burned.
