NMMR: Flatware
I need advice on what to look for. The last time I bought flatware was in 2004 when I graduated from college. Back then, I bought a 18/10 JA Henckels set for about $100. The set has lasted really well, but a lot of the pieces have gone missing (DH taking them to work and tossing them by accident, lost in moves, etc.). My mom was staying in our home to watch our kids and when DH and I got back, she informed me that we're missing 4 dinner forks, 2 tablespoons, etc.
So, I want to buy something on Ebay to save money and I want a service for 12. Yes, we do sometimes need this many.
What should I look for? What brands are best quality and last longest and don't discolor (my sis got Vera Wang flatware for her wedding and they are all discolored). I also don't want to spend $$$, probably no more than $100 for service for 12.

On the outset these seem above your price range, but the people who gave them to us apparently got them on a crazy outlet sale so I feel like you could luck out on eBay.
We knew we wanted stainless for the quality and durability, but did a lot of research about discoloration and rust issues and that's what led us to this set. I'm also picky about spoon shape and this is the shape I like. We would have bought them ourselves with wedding gift money if nobody had gotten them off the registry.
