Yikes! Be cautious on entertaining offers outside of your Ebay aution. You have three bids now and to end your ebay posting before the end date you must sell it to the highest bidder. I found this out the hard way myself doing this years ago and it caused a lightning storm of bidder complaints and explainations back to them and Ebay. Ive been registerd with them since 99 so maybe its changed now and Im wrong. better check it out. Nice sign, I didnt see a 1947 date on it. Good luck with the auction.....Roger
