Is the Covered Professional Skillet No Longer Available on PPP?

[MaddyandOwensMom]

...why PPP is not accepting the Covered Professional Skillet as either a 60% off or a full price item? I was wondering if anyone knew if this item was sold out and maybe I just missed that announcement. I was just looking over a catty host's show and she wanted one. Under "items" it will print the name using either the item number or special discount item number and then list it as $0.00. Now THAT'S quite the bargain, but obviously, I'd never put it through like that. I'm hoping that she will except the 12" Executive Skillet at 60% off and then use her Half-price on the lid. It is more money in the end, but I'm not sure what else to tell her if this item is gone.

I'd call home office tech support first.
She may not have the money to spend on the more expensive item.

The show IS dated for February right?

I haven't heard that it was sold out...just that it was running low.

Jessica -

Try item # y769 and see if that works - That is the Host special code for the 60% for the month for that item - if that doesnt work - I would call HO

I think that is the product mentioned in the weekly bites that is currently running out of stock. I think they were only guaranting orders through Feb 11 for that product. Check last weeks Weekly Bites for the correct information.

Thanks so much! I assumed HO was closed today, so I wanted to see if any of you knew. I do remember reading that in Weekly Bites now that it is being mentioned. I'll let her now the info.
Thanks again!

I had a couple hosts who wanted the Professional 12" pan and the 12" lid. I encouraged both of them to get the Executive, it was less than $10 more to do the Executive. Figure out the price difference and help pursude her to get the Executive since the one she wants is probably gone by now.

Oh, shoot, I totally forgot about that and just submitted a show with the Family Skillet.....argh!

If it was the regular skillet with no lid, you are fine. It's just the covered skillet that is low.

Whew! Okay, I can't read today!

Whew! Okay, I can't read today!

I only know because I had a host wanting to order the family skillet. I thought it was the one that they were talking about and double checked the email myself. But I was able to talk her into the Executive anyway!

For $10 extra, you certainly need to get the LIFETIME WARRANTY!

I thought all the pans had a lifetime warranty? Maybe I just never paid attention to the professional before!

The Professional does have a lifetime warranty. The Generation II didn't.

I just looked that up myself, I was beginning to wonder if I was loosing my mind because I've promoted all the cookware in the catalog as life time warranty.

I haven't talked with her yet, but I went to the finalize tab to see if anything needed adjustment and it said that the "product was no longer available." It didn't even occur for me to check there as it's usually something to do with money when those big red dots show up!
