So true. I bid on two lots of Wagner pans, thinking the price was just too low and I wouldn't get either one. Surprise, I got them both! It's all good, though. One lot was a 9+" square and a 8" and 6" skillet, so now I have 3 6" pans for individual pot pies and the square pan for bacon

and for corn bread. The other lot was a 10" and a 11" skillet. I have been using my grandmother's 8" Griswold as my go-to frittata pan, but the teenagers need bigger servings these days, so I needed a bigger pan.

We are using the 10" now, but they are only 14. I see the 11" in their future. (And I may need more yard hens, too.)
Anyway, I have picked up 5 pans for less than $100, including shipping, and I'm happy. And I'm not addicted. I can stop any time. I only check the auctions because they are interesting. And I'm looking for a potjie pot or bean pot. And a big round griddle. And a 3-burner Coleman stove (but I just haven't resigned myself to spending over $100 on that stove, like the one this past week). See, I still have some self-control.
