What's a good price for National #8 skillet

[TimC]

I found a National #8 skillet in excellent condition. The seller isn't coming down from the $25 price she asking for it. Is this a good price for this skillet ?

 

[Kyle S.]

I think so. I have never seen a National much less in excellent condition. Just remember a skillet is only "worth" what someone is willing to pay for it. That would be worth it to me. Just my 2 cents. Happy hunting,
Kyle

Dual logo or just National arc?

 

[TimC]

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll pick it up.
I just put the red and blue books by David G Smith on my Christmas list since the in laws were asking me for Christmas ideas.

Just the National arc on it.

It looks like the first pictured under National in the Economy Brand section.

A dual logo would be nicer, but if no defects, $25 for the arc isn't out of line.

Ok..
I bought it for $17.50. They were having a 30% off Thanksgiving sale. It's funny the lady wouldn't budge from the $25 price yesterday. Now the fun part, cleaning it up. Thanks for the replies.

For some reason, I prefer the arc logo Nationals. Maybe because they're older.

Another nice score Tim . I have a thing for the old straight sided pans , yup I do . There's one the very same , a National #8 B for sale in the city near me . But the guy is asking too much . Guess I'll wait till he's had it for sale for a while and make another offer .

But just knowing it's there has me itching to go get it lol

I picked one up last week for 16

 

[TimC]

I would of paid $25 but I like seeing if can can get it cheaper. I went back to buy it at that price.

$16 is even better! I can't walk away from my pieces of cast iron for under $20 :-D. I visit a few different thrifts store a day, in different towns, as much as 100 miles away because my job. I spend my lunch breaks visiting thrifts stores and I eat my lunch while driving.
