No wonder I'm having a hard time finding one...nobody is parting with them...lol. They have been on ebay constantly but all have been in " shot up" condition.

Just a heads up for what it's worth...
I was surfing Craigslist today and ran across this EXACT picture. Funny thing is I know the collector who has it listed on CL and it's NOT 983jeremy (from what I know). I sent a PM to 983jeremy previously asking where the sign is at as I was interested. PM response... $1,100 is the best offer I have received so far.

IMO...makes more sense to buy it from the collector I know who actually owns the sign and save $300 because the asking price on CL is $800.

Wow.....another joker who is afraid to learn his life lesson like a real man. How do you expect to learn anything in life hiding behind a computer screen waiting for picker moment like this.


see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

I have spoken to the owner of the sign by telephone and it is NOT the person stating that the best offer they have received is $1,100. This is a perfect example why the "Collectors" have issues with some of the "Pickers" and their antics.

What is it with all these individuals wanting to make a buck without stepping up and spending the money?

Nothing wrong with making money, just please kindly ensure whatever it is that you are selling; that you in fact own it! How can you offer to sell something if it's not yours to sell?

Another one bites the dust! I guess reputations mean nothing to some. I'm sure if someone advertised one of of his display lubesters for sale as their own. He would be the first to cry foul.

...oh, just one of many issues confused

...hopefully Eric can get the sign from the collector, and cut out the middleman...it looks like a fairly priced sign, and pretty clean, too...

Oh I wish I could just sit at a computer screen and buy the best pieces without doing anything but writing a check. Some of us, like my self are not as fortunate to do so, but if I had the money and found a sign I really like I would have to pay up for it as some of you are willing to do without doing anything more then searching this site. Most of you wouldn't have the signs or pumps you do if it wasn't for pickers and painters to do the work for you. That is great because it is individuals like urself that keeps me in business.
As for the sign....
I was really interested in another sign that Bill had, a great guy that was willing to share his collection with me. It's amazing in my opinion and Bill and his wife are A+ people. Yes I was hoping to offset my time and expenses with a 2 hour drive each way by buying two signs and keeping one. Which I'm positive not one of you have ever done! Not to mention the time of crating and shipping a sign, for $300 margin, thats pretty cheap for more then a days work, or less then what i would charge in my shop. If we all do this for fun lets just trade some signs straight across. I don't think that will happen.
The sign was not in the near 9 condition that it appears to be in "his" picture but more around a 6. So no deal could be made but I met a good new gas friend.

Mr. Chevyss man.
Thank you for your police like research on the Red Crown sign. If anything I just saved you 500-600$ once you bought and had a sign shipped to your residence only to find it was not in the condition as what you expected it to be. But you keep up you amazing talents of keyboard research, this hobby would be lost without people like you informing others as to such valuable info. What might you want to sell me for the exact price you paid for it?

Dave, if you would like to Sell a display lubesters as one of your own please feel free, this is a hobby that I enjoy and building neat things, not my mark on life.

By no means are my intentions to mislead anyone, I handle business with professionalism and ethics. I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Jeremy--I understand your rationale but it is still "WRONG" to try and sell something that you don't own! Don't come off all arrogant with these people that have pointed out your actions for whatever reason! What you did is "WRONG" and that kind of action will only serve to darken your reputation.

Interesting comment there,"let's just trade some signs straight across.I don't think that will happen".Sir,I can positivly,without any question assure you that it does indeed happen.In my experience,when you want something really scarce,the only way you will get it is to trade something just as scarce of close to equal value.
