db...you are the king of utilizing the search function on here...I keep forgetting we have that available.
Interesting Nucky uses a misleading thread title to get people to read his post.
Jim and the mods do a great job here, keep up the good work.

This is a great site and I appreciate all the time and effort that everyone puts into it. Especially, Jim and the moderators.
I always look forward to checking out this site 3 or 4 times a day; as busy as I am...I always, make time for it.
Don't expect to get anything more out of this site then you are prepared to put into it. Maybe it's time to wake up every morning with the attitude of "What can I do today to make Oldgas.com a better community" versus "What can I take from the Oldgas.com community today".
I have learned that no matter where I am or who I am with, it is totally within my control to have a good time or a bad time. Only you, have the choice as to what you are going to focus your attention on and what you take with you from any thread on this site. If you are going to search out the negative posts or the threads that bother you. Then don't be surprised when you feel like this site is draining the life out of you. It is 100% your fault and only your fault, for allowing yourself to focus on the negative and letting that take over your ability to look at and enjoy the positive.
Like anything in life we must embrace what gives us peace of mind and pleasure. If one is unable to realize that, from their time on this site; then they should move on as that is probably in their best interest. We all have limited fun/play time and why waste that on something that doesn't bring you joy?
I'll take this moment to wish everyone a safe and prosperous New Year.

utilizing the search function on here Use the Google Search Box at bottom of any page. EASIER that at top in header. SOME need a clean box of HUGGIES

Can't get enough looks in the non petro. Nucky goodbye is it real this time? Just wondering.
Not a long time member,not a lot a know how, not a lot of earth shaking post. That's me,but I really enjoy Oldgas. Thanks for the wonderful job Jim and the Mods do to keep this site going.
Yes its bad that longtime members have moved on due to the direction this hobby is headed. Its all about enjoyment when its gone its time to take a break or move on. All we can do as collectors is make it as positive as we can for the next generation, one newcomer at a time. Thanks to the Oldgas members that took a interest in me and taught me a thing or two.

I am a newby here. I find myself on this site several times a day, and night.Even my wife who never cared about petro stuff ,now has this site on HER homepage ipad.She constantly keeps me informed of new items for sale,squabbles,and all the other thing's that comprise a colletor web site.When a mans collectible site draws a womens interest in her husbands hobby it must be GOOD.
I want to thank all of the members & the moderators for the help that I have personally received in the short time that I have been a member.
Now I have asked for value info at times as I am NEW to signs and pumps and cans.But how else do you learn except by asking questions and listening,reading.Just like the oldtimers did at one time.
I always told myself when I retired 10 years ago that I would not fight change as I had noticed many people do as they aged.I vowed to myself that I would attempt to except change and enjoy life and not become stubborn & miserable as I have seen many do as they got older.
In short accept the good ,enjoy the past & don't let other people steal your joy or control your destiny.Salute the good quy's and ignore the A-- H---s. Sharing is the most important thing that we can do.Merry Xmas to all.
Wanted TEXACO related items & SUNOCO related items .Signs -Globes et'c. Oil Cans - Grease cans .

On 11/16/22...I thought about that for some time but I think I have to say goodbye to this forum, I didn't have any problem with any members here and I really enjoyed sharing my passion about petroliana and sodapop but I don't see what I can bring to this forum I shared with you some of the european market in petroliana and show and I hope you enjoyed sseing the differents signs in europe I don't want to argue with anyone about petroliana condition, value, selling,... I really enjoy sharing my passion. I'm still interested in petroliana related items but I won't post here anymore, you'll can see my collection and every new of my buys on my collectors weekly page : http://www.collectorsweekly.com/user/fifties50s/posts I'd like to thank you all about the great things I discovered on this forum, the stories behind the items, the show coverage and everything here So I wish you an excellent end of the year John On 3/18/13...Once again I got the same feeling as I got some months ago by seeing not collectors but people who registered here to ask value for items for selling them at high prices or just offering items for sale without really participating to the forum for the pepsi machine, he got registered yesterday and offered to buy a pepsi for 2400 $ !!! c'mon you have to be kidding ? I posted some messages for fun and I got this message in responds from Oldgas moderator "Stop harassing the soda machine seller. Stay away from him."
so we can't have a little fun here ?
I think it could be great to block the access in the sale section for new memmbers until they have posted at least 100 messages, so this forum won't be a value for selling items website
I really enjoyed talking about my passion about petroliana and sodapop and everything about collecting but this time it's really the time for me to quit, Thank you all for all the good time on this forum and for having shared pictures of your collections, it's a great passion and hobby I have shared with overseas collectors and I took really good time here ,thanks you all for those 2 great years and take care of you
bye-bye
John
On 12/31/13...for Jim
don't be surprise to loose old members from this forum by protecting new ones who come here trying to rip others by asking stealing prices and only post in the for sale sections, this forum was a nice place to trade informations between passionates people, you perhaps didn't see it but there are a lot of old members who posted a lot and didn't post here anymore, aren't you asking why ? maybe it's because we are tired of seeing people coming here only for having a value idea of the items then wanting to sale it here for big money, that's sad, really sad, and by protecting sellers here against members who know the values of the items is not the good idea for the community
I still don't understand why there is no rules for new ones who has to post at least 50 or 100 messages in the petroliana sections before selling here, that's a non sense
I'm not the only one here who think for a long time that the for sale section and value section removed would be a fantastic idea for a better community
Sorry for you
For the others, I spent nearly 3 years here and as I think it's nearly the ban for me, I wanted to thanks everyone who shared their passion here and hope everyone a happy new year and good continuation in our respective collection
At work we play a game. Every time Nucky threatens to leave we all do a few shots,needless to say,we each needed to take a taxicab home again tonight.

I think that this site is great. Whether it be for collectors, buyers/sellers, and pickers. The moderators do everything they can to keep this site running well. After all, we are all in this wonderful hobby for some reason! We all do enjoy it so that is what matters!

Topics with misleading captions should be "returned" to the sender for correction or "trashed". Deception serves no purpose.Why deceive the reader in order to capture his/her attention.
