Don't hate the player hate the game. Got on the road at 6:30 this morning to pick up what is the prize of my collection. He got a real kick out of telling people I paid $7000 for the sign. I got it for less. Someone even offered $8000. And another told him it was worth up to $12,000. I had a couple of sleepless nights waiting for his phone call to tell me he took another offer. As he said, a deal is a deal. A true man of his word. He's thrilled and I'm ecstatic. Here is where it will hang. Going to have a bunch of signs for sale real soon LOL

Looks great Greg, glad it found a good home. Now how about some "Black Friday sale prices" on some of your Sinclair stuff?
On a side note, anyone know who got the Sinclair coupons sign that was on ebay this past week?

So you are one of those people who always asks to end the auction early!

KZ I don't always ask as most of what I buy is sniped. Either I get it or I don't. When it's special, I go all out to get it as several others tried to do. You really won't get it if you don't ask for it and then back it up with cash and drive to pick it up ect..
Yes it's a 2 sided flange sign. 10"x14"

He replied and posted in the ad he wanted to let it run than ends it. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ A bird in hand is better than a feather in the nest. He likely didn't know what it was worth, therefore went for the cash he thought would be better than then letting the auction running it's course and getting less...He gambled and likely lost.
