Just recently trashed a Le Creuset stock pot that I bought at one of the outlet stores in 1991. The exterior enamel had a tiny pin hole that was barely noticeable. Ultimately the enamel around that pin hole started flaking off under heat. But it took 30 years for that to happen. Finally got to the point that it was leaving sharp little blue flakes on the stove top - so I had to trash it.
So I'd consider an outlet Le Creuset pot to be a 30 year pot and at outlet prices this is a great bargain. I won't outlive my next outlet Le Creuset.
I'm hoping the full price replacement I bought for it will be a generational pan - the price certainly reflects that. My kids will probably sell it for $10 at my estate sale.
