NOT for sale but....Been a while since I have been on... I have a large collection of gas stuff - trying to get my head around what to do (I am 67')
Kids don't have interest - nor the Grandkids...
I am NOT wholesaling a life's work and like everyone want strong money for this stuff.
I have always preferred the acrylics over enamelled metal - weight, colourfulness, and I always thought that even though newer the vintage acrylics are harder to find in good shape as they are much more fragile and can be lit up....
Any advice on how to go about this huge task ahead would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! - John

Hi, Max. You might consider doing a topic search here on Old Gas for more information. The question of how to dispose of a large collection has been asked and then responded to any number of times in the past here on the forum. Best of luck to you. John
P.S. Hey, by the way, 67 isn't so old!

Plastic has gotten a lot desirable over the years!!
Saying you don't want to Wholesale and want strong money... that will require selling each piece separate yourself. Anyone that buys it for resale will want it for a lot less than its worth and if buying it all at one time its even worse.
You being in Canada makes this a little more difficult as you could go to swap meets in person but not sure about swap meets up there. There is always marketplace on facebook if you can weed through the idiots and ship.
Good luck!!
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

They look like fairly nice signs to match the muscle car era, shouldn't have much trouble selling for your price.

US and Canada used to have a similar market for these but things have changed and we down south no longer have a accurate knowledge of what is going on in the Canadian market.
The market down here is also changing dramatically and there's less people interested in this stuff when it's large. Gas prices are going insane and we no longer have any market stability in any sector so interest is waning.
If it were me and I wanted to let go of most of it, I would go to a strong Canadian auction house? They usually have a few bidders from the south too if they are a popular enough auction.
Good luck!
