I believe Dick is saying that a LOT of people say "If it was closer I'd Buy it" Which in reality is BS, most are just blowing steam. IF that same pump was closer, I'm sure you would not hear a word from that same person, and they would not buy it either.
So, If you want it buy it, If you don't want it, Don't buy it and don't say you would IF it was closer.
Am I right Dick
AND this is not aimed at anybody special, I have not seen anyone use that term recently. Folks, we have a winner. Right on.
FREEDOM oil items wanted.

Ive got 3 kids 7 and under - so for me the long trips are impossible. I am looking forward to when they are older and can "help" with these things though.

If I was in Ga. I would drive to Jax Fl. for those 2 big signs. I ship big signs all the time. I am not paying 200 each or more for shipping.

Sorry if I envoked a fued ,I had to go out, and then had computer promblems. I bought the rem.tire sign last night. NOW keep in mind it's 16 wide, weight not so much?, and zip to zip,plays a big part in ship price. OLDGASER just emailed me and said it wasn't but 30.86 to three day,UPS. NO it's not a round 60 or 72,and it's not going coast to coast. should been more clear,I guess. Now pumps the whole time I was writting this morning,I was thinking,would I really trust a correct A+ restored pump,trusted to shippers. I don't know? I know their is a fellow,we know from race tracks around here that does special moving, and with the friendship attached I think so.

YOU CANT BS A BS"ER..YOU WANT IT BUY IT. I PAID $200 to ship a huge esso sign...I Wanted it so I paid for it. Bottom line. It is a different story if you cant afford it.

Maybe it's different if you want it/gotta have no expense spared. I on the other hand don't like tossing $200 for a $300 sign. It then becomes a $500 sign. I am the bargain hunter. Last year I bought a $200 sign in CT. I actually towed my trailer along. The gas and tolls was $45....cha-ching! Not too bad! had a great trip and saw somebody elses collection. The signs in Florida, while reasonably priced aren't worth the shipping or driving expenses added on to ME! therefore, I don't have to have them! But if they were closer....I would seriously consider going the distance!
I MEAN WHAT I SAY AND I SAY WHAT I MEAN.

57 tbird just hit it on the head, I'm looking for special pump for company,I have attached my intrest to, so when I find it and I can afford it I'm going to jump. One got offered up the other day,and if I had the money sat aside,I'd been all over it. Get it bought,then figure out how to get to it. I'm not going to walk up on one here. How many post you see here,with old gas stuff for sale,from TN. You can count on your hand. So
yes I willing to ship, pick up at shows what ever it takes.
Thanks I'm done.

This thread has NOTHING productive to add to the gas and oil hobby or any members of this board……
There should be a category for useless non productive topics…
Just my 2 cents??.....
