Mike,
I was there for the same reason - I'm a collector, not a dealer or "flipper". I just wanted the chance to add a few nice signs to my collection. I THOUGHT I knew what the market was on these based on past sales but they sold for way beyond that (typically 30-40% more). I know condition is everything with signs so these should all be on the high end of the price range. I took that into account when figuring out the market value on the lots I was interested in. Honestly, I saw very few deals at that show. The couple other oldgassers I saw at the show felt exactly the same way. That's OK though, lots of guys came away happy with their deals and that's all that matters. I'll just keep on looking.
