Now you can get this rare one with only two mounting holes. He isn't even bothering to punch all the holes. LOL The scum bag just list it as old. The bad thing is that these are being resold on ebay from the US after the buyers are getting stuck. Be careful out there. Ted

TRUE, IT SAYS "OLD" BUT DOESN'T SAY "ORIGINAL." OLD COULD BE FROM THE 80'S. UNFORT SOME SUCKER WILL SNAP IT UP! frown

I made him a honest offer on the sign, $10.00. For some reason he turned it down.

I honestly wonder how many of those he sells. I watch each one on eBay and I cannot remember the last time I saw one sell.


Looking for nearly anything related to Signal Oil

I guess he sells enough. He probably gets a special break from ebay because he lists so much. LOL I made honest offers $1 to $2.50 on all his stuff and now he has blocked me as a buyer. LOL I just move on to another couple accounts I have to ***** him off. I asked a question on this last one. I asked" How old is old? 1 Year or older? Guess it got to him." No respnse. Ted

this is what I sent him

How old is the sign? I notice there are only 2 mounting holes. Does that make it a rare sign, or a fake?

we shall see if he responds LOL

Deft EAR? complete brain inactivity! Even when a ebay representative has called they say no one above them wants to hear about it.

So how about a ad on ebay that would read:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Signal,Texaco,Aircraft,Ford,Gas Pump Porcelain Signs,
Dont get riped off.Learn what your buying guide.

Buy it now $5.00 Then direct people to the OLDGAS web site where they can get opinions from people with experiance.
Proceeds go to OLDGAS
--------------------------------------------------------------

Either pick my idea apart or help clean up the wording?
What do you think?

Hillside has it!
With ebays free fee insertion you can post that but also add the website is free to everyone and runs on donations and participation using ebay links.

The members on oldgas.com have had enough of people getting ripped off on repop and fake signs and they can come share there inquires on oldgas.com before they buy.
Start the ad at $.99 to get the free ad and run it for 29 days. Then relist. LOL

I sent the buyer a message that he bought a fake. We will see what he says.

How do you send a buyer a message? I would like to do that occasionally but I don't know how to see the winning bidders info.
