Unusual estate sale barn find- whats it worth?
So I was rummaging around an estate sale in basically the middle of nowhere earlier, I stumbled upon this huge Mercedes dealer sign and the letters "Benz" in the back of an old dark barn.
The big star sign is actually in pretty good shape, its all there except for the fluorescent lights and a few pieces of plastic on one side. It's 7ft across. I had one hell of a time getting it into a truck. The BENZ letters are also in good shape except for the "Z" which has a crack in the top side. They measure 3ft x 3ft. So, I'm curious- does anyone know ballpark what this stuff is worth? Did I waste my money or did I find a fortune? I'd appreciate ANY input on this. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...l/DSC00704.jpg (excuse the post holding the sign up in this pic) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10.../DSC00709a.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...l/DSC00706.jpg |
Unsure of value, but it would look great in my garage. Notice I said in. Neighbors (who have been unusually tolerant over the years) would surely object, especially if I could make it rotate:D in addition to lighting it.

Might be worth "something" if you find the rest of the sign, but I've heard that the "-" is real hard to come by. :D
|
Yea I already put the "BENZ" letters on the wall in my garage, but unfortunately the big round star sign won't even fit through my garage door (2 car garage with one single car door):o
|
That is AWESOME!! How much it cost you? Mount it on the roof and light it up!
|
Yeah....mount it on a rotating base with it internally lit, put it on your roof....then wait for the Mercedes lawyers to come callin'.:grin: :rolleyes:
I do like it though......you'll catch some flack if you do mount it outside....somethin' about Copywrite.;) . |
It didn't cost me TOO much :cool: It was worth unchaining it from the ceiling of the guy's barn, "catching it", and putting it into my truck with about 3 other guys.
Even though I do live out in the country, I'm sure the neighbors would still kill me if I stuck that thing outside :rolleyes: |
Is the whole package for sale...? How much..? Let me know..
|
Thats freggin awesome! I would never sell that, nor put a value on it. Its priceless!
I would mount it in the garage as a nite-lite for the cars, so that they are safe. :) |
Truckinik- I'll PM you.
I really want to keep it, but I just haven't found a great place to put it yet. |
Put it up on your garage so it rotates!:D It will be like a beacon calling your cars home.
|
That's not a dealer sign.
It's the spec hood ornament star for a '69 MOG. or it should be! :P .. |

Oh, and here I am thinking the whole time that it's a spinner, for a night club, or something...Instead of a mirror-ball..
