Reply #2: Replacing the stainless would cost more than purchasing new. [View All]

Went there first. I'm still feeling the sticker shock.

To buy five sets of 5 and a couple of extras, I'm looking at almost $700. The teaspoons alone are $23. Each.

It's stainless. It's my casual flatware. I think I got it at B, B & B. If I paid more than $300 for it in 2001, I'd remember because that would have been a big purchase. I can get silver for less than replacements wants.

Thanks for the tip on mismatch. I may not be able to float it by my husband - he's finicky that way - but when I present him with the Replacements bill, he might relent.
