Title: Blank Sign Dump on e-bay
Post by: US71 on August 17, 2020, 01:16:41 PM
E-bay auction for a mess of (I'm guessing) unfinished Kansas US mini-me's (https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Miniature-Highway-Road-Sign-US-Shield-Shields-Route-Sign/324169518345?%3Cbr%20/%3Ehash=item4b7a024d09%3Ag%3AcfQAAOSwhnZewbpe).

I don't have the skills to finish them or I'd buy them it.

$125.00 is a lot to ask IMO for unfinished mini blanks.

Around $6.50 each. If you count the 2 "bonus" signs it's about $5.70 each. I've seen the finished ones got for $20+

But that's the rub, now much would it actually cost to make them into actual completed mini-shields?  Are the completed shields actually painted or are they vinyl?

Jake would know more about that.
