I am new to this so bear with me. My dad loved this site and was always on it. He recently passed away and I am helping my mom post some of his stuff on Ebay. I am not sure how to link to Ebay from here, but his username is bigferg on Ebay and I just listed a bunch of cans and a few Flying A signs. I hope I am doing this right. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Alyssa, was your Dad a Member? If so, what was his name?
For some reason, that Ebay name "rings a bell"....

Alyssa,
Sorry to hear about your loss. When you post, put it on the 'online auctions/ebay petroliana' forum and give the id number for each item.

Dick, that's right, my dad was John. I'm pretty sure he was a member, he was on here a lot.

Randy- Not that I'm aware of. I'm sure he knew whoever sold it to you, though!  KW Frith- Thank you! He's got quite a bit of good stuff, I'm a 31 year old mom, I didn't think I'd be taking up his hobby anytime soon, but here we are. http://www.ebay.com/sch/bigferg/m.html?_ipg=50&_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1 for anyone that didn't see the link above. Thanks guys!

Very sorry for you loss and I might make a suggestion.
Be careful of people that see your other items in the pictures of your descriptions and making you offers to buy them before you put them on ebay.
You have some nice quality items and I really think that you will do better in the long run to auction them off.
Another thing that you might want to consider is to not end the auctions early as a lot of the bidding will be done in the last seconds.
Best of luck to you,

I'm also very sorry for your loss. I've added a few of the items to my watched items and will be bidding on them.
I agree with Huskybob best format to sell is auction style and don't end the auctions early. E-bay will help you realize the best prices.

They both are right.
Let the the bidding on E-Bay run it's course. You will make more that way. People will just try to low ball you, since you are not in the hobby.
