Shipping a neon mobile 1 Pegasus sign.

Rick said he is not able to get ahold of the guy he uses. He also told us he had an older gentlemen offer him $80k for our sign.

Yes it was just finished this week. We are keeping it and adding it the the sign collection.

I will get the deminsion when I get off.

This, and it wouldn't have a, "1," in the name, either.

Why didn't you sell it? Do you have a fever?

[wishitwasasvt]

Think of it as an investment. I'll post a couple of pictures when we get it home.

use an ltl carrier. they are insured

Be ready to file that claim

They wont add anything over their standard $0.50 per lb insurance for anything like that. Hope it weighs more than its worth..

Depending on the size I can probably set up an EUV for $1800-$2200.

They'll use straps and pads. This is probably your safest bet.

All investments reach maturity. Don't try to catch a falling knife.

80k? You said no?

If it is crated and shipped correctly it won't be a problem

LTL's goal is to cram as much shit into a trailer as possible. I wouldn't ship anything of value that couldn't easily replaced. Especially not a restored antique.

For a neon sign.

We are leaving out tomorrow to go pick it up. We are going to figure a way to crate it our selves. Thanks for the help and the smart ass comments, you guys never fail to amuse!!

Yes $80k was offered and we turned it down. Was it wise, probably not. Will I finally get to see the sign stand in the back yard after months of waiting, you bet your asses!

80k is a lot of money. How much did the restoration run you? How much do you have in it? How much would you profit from the sale? Since it is going to be in your back yard, are you ready for the Texas hail?

If I was to sell it for the $80k, I would profit a rough $60k. I'm not in a money pinch and I think the sign is way to cool to just flip without owning it for awhile. I have not figured out the texas hail part yet because I have not given it much thought. I guess I better start thinking huh!?
