Last I checked, these were goin for around $85 on the open market, hope you did better than that. I always try to buy low and sell high ya know.
$40, I was very happy with the price. Not as low as the other nichol Kola signs I have, got one for $24 and the other on a phone bid at local auction for $22!
love this very much:)
