how do I know what value signs have?

[trust]

I have a couple of old (I guess) Atlas battery signs, wood framed metal, blue with red lettering I believe. Pretty good shape (I know, i should have taken pics) where or how can I get a sense of their value (if any)? I may also have (it's at the in laws but nobody else will want it except maybe for cash) a large gas sign (I think Mobil) that I would like to keep and use but my garage is NOT worthy, it's full of extraneous **** that I'm not allowed to dispose of. Same question how do I determine a fair value?

thanks

ditto. Just surf around ebay for an hour and you'll find comparables for everything you have.

And if you have any signs from Weber Carburetor, Goodyear, or Champion, email me!

Using that old sign in your own garage is the first step in making it "worthy"

thanks guys, I did some searching today, albeit limited, and havent' found anything but I'll keep looking.

I didn't know the pickers were that big an outfit, good to know 06wt, thanks

none of those yet ersatz2 but I'll keep my eyes open

I would love to have the open wall space tcianci so i could put them up and start moving my garage in that direction, Those and the acres of jeep posters I've accumulated. If I ever do get some space freed up that's where they will go

Thanks!

...my garage is NOT worthy, it's full of extraneous **** that I'm not allowed to dispose of.

Not "allowed"? By whom?

If it's your wife may I suggest she married you, she did not ADOPT you. Sack up, dude!

How much of your "extraneous ****" is in the kitchen or your bedroom that SHE is "not allowed" to dispose of? I imagine little, if any.

they are totally useless so if you need my address, I will pay for the postage and "dispose" of them properly.

Call the "American Pickers" They seem to love dropping big bucks on signage..
