...is the Danish Copco pots and pans.
We've got a whole bunch of them, more than we "need."
On eBay, you can get them for like 30 or 40 bucks each.
They cost $200-300 each new.
Yes, they've been used and have some scratches, and nicks.
So what?
They'll last forever.

Most of Sweetie's fabulous wardrobe is vintage, and we have hundreds of musical instruments that we bought for pennies on the dollar. A couple of weeks ago, I needed to buy a flashlight. Yes, I bought a plastic Chinese made one at the hardware store. It's not something I will use very often, so hopefully it will last a couple of years...
