Just picked this up on the way home from some errands. Mike what are these worth.  The guy said he would have some of the Chevron letters later this week or next when he takes them down at another station as he broke the ones from this station taking them down as he usually just throws the away. Does any body know the value of them looked to be 12" or so in size.

The sign is about 24" by 28" and the letters may be taller then 12". Thanks Jack

I throw them out usually which is stupid bc they go for 150-300 on Ebay but I can't store everything. Good little garage lights bc it's just small fluorescent tubes and 110V. The Chevron letters will be neon and you need to get the transformer that came with them to run.

AWESOME SIGN!!!
I too have seen the signs go for $150 - $300 on ebay. As far as the Chevron letters I have no clue as to value because they get thrown away. I have a set that will get passed down to future generations.
My sign is on all night long. In order to afford it I gut the light panel (remove a few screws and it slides right out) and install a 24" light stick sideways in the box. Lights the sign perfectly for pennies a night.

Thanks everyone, I paid 25 for mine and he has a least one more from this station and a couple from another station next week same price he said. Dont know what to offer or if I want the Chevron letters they wont be available until next week and I not sure what to offer. He said they always throw the letters away because no one has ever asked for them.
Mike, Thanks for the idea on the light stick. Thanks Jack

Offer 2x scrap price for good condition. Mike & Thunder just might make a trip to Vegas to save on shipping.
