      But it’s a scam. They’re not buying le cruiser. They’re paying the shipping on a free gift through “Taylor’s” special website. They lose $10 and the scammer never sends anything.

    Is it a scam just because it was a fake ad? Le Creuset is like the finest glazed cookware you can buy. Their dutch ovens are sick.

    Edit: always read the article. It was a shipping and handling scam.

      Vintage le creuset is great. Just like pyrex and the rest of them though they’ve gone way way downhill.

      If I could bear being in a thrift shop for more than 45s I would be hunting the good stuff down.
