Seller is a DREAMER. Highest bid when auction was canceled was $6,775.00. Started on 9/26, ended 10/5. Even in EXCELLENT CONDITION, with working neon & spinner, they'd be LUCKY to fetch $35,000 [IMO].

There was one of these in a auction in Flint a couple of years ago. All there, neon working and spinning away.
Bidding ended at about 12,000.00 +/-.
Yeah . . . they're kewl - but where the H@LL ya gonna put one? You need at least a 12' by 12' area with a minimum 10' ceiling.
That's a lot of floor space gone for most of us.
Later . . .

His response to my questions about the buy it now price: Hello, regard the price: the owner is an old timer & he says he was offered 45K for THIS sign more than once, If that's true or not-who knows, all I know for sure is it will take more than that to buy it, so he made die with it! I just put it up for fun & who know! I have been offered 35K for it so far!...My reasoning is: if their are idiots out there that will & did pay OVER 100K for a silly game system (playstation 3) that they KNOW will surely go DOWN in value, then perhaps someone loves this enough to pay whatever it takes, right?. just rolling the dice!.

I think they missed a decimal. Wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard "I was offered XX dollars for this a few years ago"
People do dream about the guy with no sense and lots of $100's coming along to buy all there stuff....

The thing that bothers me about this auction is that if the owner was offered 45K for this years ago why was it listed the first time around with no reserve if they thought it was worth so much. And then why was the auction ended only to be relisted at such a rediculous price? Were they afraid it might sell for less than 10K?

the auction reads (This is the second & FINAL offering for this vintage sign with great potential,it has been decided that if it does not reach the minimal acceptableoffer set (the same of which I have been asked not to reveal)it will be put in deep storage,& perhaps offered up for global bidding in another 5-7 years. )
so my question is what defines deep storage.
