Nice looking piece of nostalgia...

Not sure it's worth quite that much when you will have to redo the neon. Wonder how much the neon repairs would approach?

It would be cool, but too rich for my blood.

Probably a decent price if it worked, not needing repairs.

If the seller tested the sign-he should have showed it lit-or what parts on it work,esp for the price.If the neon tube is intact a neon sign shop can repump it and repair it.Would be worth it for a sign like this.The seller should have done that BEFORE offering the sign for sale.then the high price might be worth it.

There is a picture, with part of the neon lit.

Looked at the pictures again-sure enough part of it not working.Again,that part could be repaired by a sign shop---and yes,--some value as above for that sign-it was made by the "Artcraft" sign company-Artcraft was a famous sign maker that made neon signs for various companies.To neon sign fans,their signs are quite valueable.Would be worth fixing.

And it also stated that parts of the tube are cracked which would probably warrant replacement by a sign shop. I'd guesstimate repairs at about $800, at least.

I'm basing my prices on a local neon sign shop that will create custom signs that are up to 14 inches long for $400. complete.
