Jim makes a good point. When I was getting started a couple of years ago I had no idea there were so many fake signs.
I can't say how glad I am that I gravitated towards large neons. The number of fraudulent porcelain signs is skyrocketing.
Shows on tv make it look easy to buy cheap and sell high.
I rarely ever sell my stuff but I bought 2 signs a couple years ago then got buyers remorse.
Wanted to sell but convinced myself I'd been duped into buying a couple of fakes.
Sat on the signs for 10 months doing research and got some help from a couple old gassers before I was sure were real.
Didn't want to pass along a fake sign regardless of loss.
Most ebay sellers would have never looked back. There are some rotten people out there.
