I just picked this sign up. Called the guy last night, tossed and turned, no sleep. I figured all the local collectors/pickers would offer the guy more and blow my deal. He had a royal crown cola tin sign for $150. He didn't know what he had, but I did. http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/atq/4253336106.htmlUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.us

We have all, ran into deals that have caused us those sleepless nights.

I drove 40 miles in a torrential rain this morning to get it. Wrecks everywhere from people hydroplaning.

Very nice. That's a great find and awesome price! Worth the white knuckle ride in the rain for sure.
I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

Pretty low class post. It's one thing to boast about your purchase...its another story all together to make fun and humiliate the seller in print. Just 2 Cents worth from a rookie like me. And yes you did humiliate him with the "he did not know what he had comment."

And yes you did humiliate him with the "he did not know what he had comment." I have to agree with this statement. I had the same reaction. I am all for good deals. Don't brag about how smart you are taking advantage of someone else's lack of knowledge.

He was happy for he doubled his money. He bought the sign from his friend 2 days ago. His friend got it a couple of years ago when he remodeled a well known restaurant in the Dallas area. Lighten up Newbie and ddkinsey.

Now just HOPE the sign hasn't been/won't be Reported as Stolen! Did you get a written signed receipt?
Shame lies w/ seller for Not Doing a value search Before listing on CL.

My opinion is people need to quit criticizing other's post so much and be happy for the guy.Geez offered for a price and purchased by him for a agreed upon price.How many times have you or I found something at a garage sale ,flea market , online underpriced.Quite often . If we don't have anything nice to say best to not say anything at all.Don't ***** on another mans lawn. Now MERRY CHRISTMAS to all !
Wanted TEXACO related items & SUNOCO related items .Signs -Globes et'c. Oil Cans - Grease cans .

I'm with signgod2112. That's not bragging it's called celebrating. It was on a public site advertised for sale with a listed price everyone one had an equal opportunity to purchase.
I fail to see how anyone could be offended. Maybe, envious for not getting it themselves.
I highly doubt ANYONE; but, a fool who had an opportunity to purchase the same sign under the same circumstances would have offered more than the asking price.
