Wiseguy!!!
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?

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!!??
The only person that could interest, should be, Joel himself.
Since the Motion cars are available again, it would be pretty cool.
But, not for 25K, 20K, 12K or even 10K. </font>

Where's that popcorn eatin' graemlin that always gets posted?

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.

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.
