This has been screwed to the back door of my friends garage in the house his parents used to own that he took over. I have been seeing this sign for as long as I have know them and that has been almost 25 yrs. I asked what he was going to do with it because he is selling the house. He said he was going to throw it away. I asked for it and got it for free!

sign like this (in much worse condition) was just on show...believe it was worth about $250. very nice
valpofan is correct!!!!
I saw that on Pickers, you couldn't even really make out it was a Bear. I also have not seen any other Bear sign with the same saying on it. The ones I have seen say Alignment and a bunch more. Reroductions are going for $150. This sign is 40" high buy 28.5" wide. Whre would be a great place to sell?
Yep- a beat up sign of the exact same thing was on "Pickers" recently. They bought it for 100 bucks, but it was real beat up. I'd say 250.
Any good sites out there I can sell this on?
I'm wondering the same thing. Let me know if you find any good sites Bigirish!-
you buff it up and bring out the color in it..you can easily make $300 at a auction or ebay
I sold it on Ebay as is for $450! Shocked me it went that high!
