          I’m an extremely wealthy arabic numeral, and all my wealth is tied up in high quality French made cookware. If you pay shipping, I’ll deliver a truckload of cookware to your commercial warehouse facility, and you can keep one pallet as payment.

          I accept Steam gift cards, Bitcoins, and pork belly futures.

      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.

      It’s also overpriced and generally far from made in France. De Buyer, OTOH, is actually good shit at a good price. If it’s tableware you want, Arc is French, good, and inexpensive.
