If that Fry's Five Boys was as good as it looks, you wouldn't part with it would you?!!! |

If it doesn't make the right number, it's coming back home and back on the wall. |

The reserve is a lot less than $5000 David.
The sign is not mint, as far as chips to the enamel it almost is, two small chips around screw holes. There are light scratches over a bit of the sign, but nothing that detracts from it's overall look. |

Hi Fleece77
Can I ask a question...... Why did'nt you list on ebay with a reserve to give you Worldwide exposure, Surely if it sells which I reckon it should the charges would have been lower ?
Anyhow good luck with it lovely sign

Lummox, it wouldn't be the first bad call I've ever made.
As a regular, I'm on a 10% rate which is pretty good |

OK 10% is very good ! especially if you have the privilege of not having a fee to pay for placing a reserve. Over here its often 20% + £7 lotting fee + 1.5 % insurance fee + internet photo fee, + bullshit fee of another 1.75 % and that as well as the POOR SOD buyer having to pay 20% + vat !! ..... S**t nearly forgot + another 2% if you use ATG live bidding,....... oh and the small matter of 1.5 % for a card purchase.
Mind you lets be fair auction houses have EXPENSES !! ............. yeh about 50% apparently |

Your right Ross, I don't see too many auction houses closing their doors. |

Hi Gordo, How did the auction go ?? I had a quick look at what was in it, You had the only good signs, the rest was reproduction, Indian or just crap. |

G'day Daryl,
A very flat auction indeed, Studebaker sold for $1100, Newzealand insurance$900, Stuart Norris bought both, the Fry's is coming back home.
Your not wrong about all the crap repo junk, I bought one thing, the Diamond dyes cabinet for $500, it's gonna make a good spice cupboard.
