Wiseguy!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
It's too bad you didn't bring that wreck of yours down here to have a photo taken with it while it was here.......

The yellow piece of plexiglass behind the black arrow was replaced before I bought it. The rest is totally original. And I found the missing piece of the "T" in the back yard where I bought it!
It's history is not a secret. There's a thread buried somewhere here that explains the entire saga.

$12,000???!!! The price keeps going up. I have heard that the sign was offered to "big guns" that frequent this site and they all passed at $10,000. I wonder who will buy it at $12,000? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: vintage Motion Photos

He is correct I was offerd the sign at 25 and a week later it was 10. Neat sign but you would have to be a big motion fan...If you want signs I have 30 signs...

Hello
I own the original exterior MOTiON Sign Light Joel Rosen had made to advertise outside his shop from 1968-1999.
I want to sell it and was wondering if you would be interested in it?
It is 10 feet by 2 feet by 9 inches.weighs 120 lbs. and comes with a letter of authenticity from Joel Rosen himself.
I am asking $20,000.00 obo.
If this is something you are interested in,please let me know.
I can send you pictures as well if you give me your email
Thanks
<font color="blue">20K ... for a sign!!?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
The only person that could interest, should be, Joel himself.
Since the Motion cars are available again, it would be pretty cool. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
But, not for 25K, 20K, 12K or even 10K. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif</font>

Where's that popcorn eatin' graemlin that always gets posted? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

On a serious note. It should be mentioned that the sign as it is today when thru a lot of hard work to get it back to working condition. Whether that justify that much of a markup is beyond me. But I would say it is fair to ask some sort of premium over the purchase price considering the amount of effort that went into restoring it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: vintage Motion Photos

look at what all the other kinds of old sighns go for these days...big money, I think the seller should ask a heck of alot more than 20 for a one and only item like this..just because some passed on it at 20 or what ever dont mean diddly.

If the sighn was displayed at a proper auction with the normal hype it would bring the money.
