Title: Coke Button Post by: mznb1u on March 14, 2009, 06:41:44 am I took a leap of faith :hopefull: and bought this even though the seller had a zero rating and they did not answer my question about the size of the item. I figured that if it was only a 12 inch button that I probably overpaid but the scale of it in the photo against the few other items made it look bigger.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250385114029 I inquired again about the size and shipping after the sale closed and here is the brief answer that I just got this morning was "38by38in"! :oops: I will see what shows up before I start the celebration. It appears to have some fading, no doubt from hanging outside for a lot of its life but doesn't look too banged up. I asked them to carefully pad both sides of the sign in shipping and mark "Handle with Care". I will keep you posted; but, I think I got a good deal here! Hopefully my time spent searching all of the "Coke" items (regardless of price) listed on E-Bay has finally paid off. :hopefull: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Coke Button Post by: Jim on March 14, 2009, 06:51:08 am Very good find as this was listed in the beer category...?
38"x38" could possibly mistaken for a 36"diameter... Could be a great find ! ! ! Title: Re: Coke Button Post by: SIGNGUY on March 14, 2009, 07:51:08 am I'd say its a 36".. I'm sure the seller laid a garment tape on it , and measured from edge to edge with the curves included, which yes would make it 38" actual surface inches. but for 25.00 bucks... a nice decorator peice... I love these button signs.. i have about 12 of them , different sizes..

Title: Re: Coke Button Post by: mznb1u on April 12, 2009, 09:25:54 am Throughout life we have all been told - - - "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"
Well, once again my faith in my fellow man has been shattered (okay not really--that happened a long time ago when I handled loss prevention at a bank :glare: ) by an unscrupulous E-Bay seller. Auction closed March 13th and I paid through PayPal immediately. Still no package or communication from the seller. I attempted to contact the seller a few times through E-Bay but to no avail. Opened a dispute with E-Bay and the seller has not responded. Elevated the matter to claim status and am awaiting my refund from PayPal. I am sure that they probably sold it outside of E-Bay based on a contact that they made through E-Bay. :veryangry: Oh well :down: , I will get my Coke Button sign someday! Anyone want to sell me a 36" Button for $25.00?!?!? :hopefull: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Coke Button Post by: collecture on April 12, 2009, 09:47:33 am At least you are not out the $$ a 36" button is worth!
Good Luck! Title: Re: Coke Button Post by: sodaworks on April 13, 2009, 02:43:36 pm I know how you feel. I had a couple of seller's that would not respond after paying as well. I did recieve my money back by filling a claim.
