Anyone know where I can get an Orange Crush sign like the one pictured?  Someone got the steal of the century Friday night on one of these.  It was listed on eBay as a "Buy it Now" for $250.  Why can't I ever find any steals like that?

That is a steal, and I have not seen anything like this on the repop market... I'd say it was a good deal on original sign.

Well, this sign made a reappearance on eBay.  It seems that the buyer (oldjunque74) who got the steal of the century was only interested in flipping this sign for a big profit.  It just sold tonight for $1776.99.

Have seen that happen more than once on craigslist but never noticed it on eBay.

Even a blind hog will find an acorn once in a while. I've found a few myself.

A week or two ago I found a nice 1930's Dr. Pepper thermometer on craigslist for $150.  I sent a message to the seller and tried to buy it.  He told me that he had just sold it.  The next day it was on eBay as a "Buy it Now" for $650 (as of today it's still there).

Can't blame people for wanting to make a "few bob" but I guess it does hurt when you know that your only motive for the item was to display it and cherish it forever.
