out of curiosity, most dishes like this are being sold for normal prices. A few ding-dongs (who read this article I'm sure) have new listings for thousands of dollars.
with direct links to "sample" listings. Makes me think that the author of the article is an associate of the seller. With every reader of the article clicking through, the listing is garnering "views". With eBay, if you consistently get a lot of views/hour (the one link had an average 250+ views/hour), then they will promote your listing as a "hot" item.
Like others said, the sample listings are for BIN listings. When researching the value of items, you should look at closed listings to see what it sold for.
Now, there might be truth to the principle point behind the article. But those pieces that will fetch the "moon money" will either be a rare limited production design or specimens that have no paint fade/dings/crystal clear glass/etc.
and one of blue floral pattern.
Looks like we're gonna be rollin in dough.
On a side note, we have a Toastmaster toaster oven, circa 1975. If anybody is interested I could see letting it go for, say $5000. Please don't start a bidding war.

RE: The glassware market crashed since around 2013 Â
In 2011 I set the wife up with an antique store in our town.
Bought tons of Carnival Glass, Old Bottles, China sets, Corningware, etc...
Lost our ass on all of it. Cina Sets that once sold for 1K you might get $150 for in 2012, now they are $30 and are mainly used for crafts
Back around 2010, I used to buy fine china sets at auction. It was cheaper than Hefty disposable plates. I would use them a few times and then just throw them away. One of the most worthless gifts that newlyweds receive...

Everyone wants Vintage now, not Antique. It's mainly due to the fact outside of the Baby Boomers most never ate with fine china or even cares what Carnival glass is
packing plant. Typical factory line jobs, from packing boxes on the line to loading pallets to sweeping up massive messes of cracked crockery when the box sealing machines jammed.
Too bad I didn't load up on employee discounts, eh?
Nobody’s paying thousands for old dishes. Actual sales of the same items are like $15-$20.

Oh maaaan. Guess I should cancel my visit to the Porsche dealership then...
So you're saying there's a chance?...
Something rare and out of print like Song Of The South might fetch something
