How much would you pay for a balloon?

I haven't had much luch on the Pyrex front lately, but tonight I was at the local Previously Loved looking for my halloween costume and I came across the large Balloon Promotional Cinderella Dip Bowl from the Chip and Dip Set. This is the first piece of promotional I have found, and my first decent Pyrex in months. The only downside? $19.99. There is no tax so it would be $19.99. It is in great condition, so I have to ask how much you would pay for a balloon?

    Maybe $10 or $12 if it was in really good shape.

    I would pay that for the set, as it's such a rare set! And gorgeous!

    I paid $25 CAD for both bowls (minus the wire hanger) on the weekend. I didn't mind paying this... they're in great condition and I love-love-love the pattern and colour!

    ha! that's the number one thing on my list... I would have paid $40... but I swear, prices in Texas are higher.

    I probably would have paid the $19.99! That is one of my most favorite patterns I have been hunting for.

    Where I live Pyrex is scarce so I would pay that (Australia).

    I would definitely pay $19.99, especially if it is in great shape and has the wire hanger with it. You don't find that set very often.

    Honestly, I would pay it. A year ago I would have say no way for that price, but collecting has gotten so popular that there are rarely any good pieces around and prices are going up up up. I'm still kicking myself for refusing to pay $40 (including shipping to Canada) for a starburst spacesaver when they're going for over $100 on ebay now.

    I found mine for under $10 with the smaller bowl but no bracket. I paid $35 for the delphite golden grapes complete in excellent condition with the bracket at an Antique Market. So I think that my mental limit might have been $5 less than they were asking but I might have regretted not getting it because it is such a lovely pattern and there is an etsy sellar no making replacement brackets.
