    That is a good point, someone else pointed that out. But it is like buying a replica ferrari, its not the same :D Except this is just a silly sign, so I think i'll try to make my own.

    Yeah, I can spot a replica Ferrari sign a mile away. Often, the horsey's giving a wink in the fake ones.

    Toolfan is right, DON'T bid on it. I believe I know the current high bidder. No, it's not me.

    According to the link, the bidding is closed with zero bids.

    The starting bid was $100.00. That seems cheap for a authentic sign. I would bet it would cost close to $100.00 in materials to duplicate.

    Seems odd that there were zero bids with the excitement generated on this forum alone.

    As of yesterday it had several days to go, and my friend was the high bidder. So, the seller obviously cancelled the bids and closed the auction.

    That is strange that the bid has started over. When I posted this yesterday it was close to $2000. :confused:

    The listing says: "The seller ended this listing early because the item was lost or broken." Maybe someone offered him a lot of $$$ and he just closed the listing early.

    chances are that sign is from the auction here a few years ago... where the guy w/ the DA's office who stole peoples estates, and had an F40/50, and all this race gear...??
    there was a sign just like that, and if i remember the guy bought it for well over $500, that auction was pretty crazy, i think a ferrari flag(similar one online for $25) sold for $150 or something...

    LOL... it also says he will install it for $1200?????? im pretty sure you just plug it in, and thats it...
