Title: Re: New Haul Post by: sodaworks on March 12, 2009, 12:31:10 pm Nice score Leonard. A few years back I found a stack of 12 of those new DP signs that still had the rice paper between them at a yard sale. I paid 10 bucks a piece for them, kept one and sold the rest on ebay. They all averaged over 100 bucks a piece.
