Those Conoco oil racks have been doing really well. Nice cans and some very nice cans. Tell her to list them on e-Bay. List the signs and cans individually. One at a time and she will be pleased with the results.

Almost impossible to answer this posting in it's entirety. I mean to value each piece. In the end, it's hard to argue with Dave's advice about putting them all on ebay. Although ebay will take 10% in the end and it will take some time. I would think that in most cases, any offers coming from the members here, which I'm sure your getting, should be more or less reasonable and fair.
Good luck with the sale and my condolences to your friends wife!!!!

Thx Steve. I will pass along your kind message to her. I am hoping not for a definitive value on each can, but a general idea, i.e. these are $10-15 cans, those are $20-30 cans, etc. The time involved in ebaying them singly or even in small bunches is a little overwhelming. Add in the 10% and boxing and shipping them and the fact that at 70 I'm still working, and it gets more than a little overwhelming. I'll be gone for a couple weeks then will post more pics. Many thanks to all old gassers for the many responses and guidance. Mike
