Shipping a neon mobile 1 Pegasus sign.

Where are the pics of this freaking thing anyway?

Just giving you computer nerds something to talk about on a Sunday..

Is this a joke? I'm now trying to rationalize this, and I can only think that this has been a joke from the beginning.

We are still not sure of the whole game plan. We were going to have it shipped but have since decided to try to manage it by ourselves..

That's what we were told from Rick, why would he bullshit us?

He makes his money restoring antiques, so putting the highest possible value on an item makes his work more valuable.

Does the air ride even come into play at such small weights? I really doubt there is much difference between air ride and spring for something like that. Surely he isn't shipping this on a flat bed??

It will be a noticeably harsher ride for something in a rigid crate. We're not even allowed to carry certain artifacts in our non air-ride Sprinter for that reason.

He hasn't really said how he's shipping it. We know he's turned down a generous offer......who knows what the OP will do next.

Just slap it on a car hauler with some bailing wire.

Not sure what to think of the 80k.. I could see it being offered.

Non air-ride truck/trailer, rock chips, poor crate design, weather.....just to name a few reasons.

No. It is like it just smaller.

I don't know who Rick is, but he is full of shit.

I don't see why it wouldn't come back in one piece unless we flip our truck on the way back.

Is this the original pegasus sign that was on the old Mobil building in downtown Dallas?

No. It is like it just smaller.

I don't understand how a fucking neon sign that isn't the original Mobil Pegasus can be worth anywhere NEAR that. I call mad bullshit on the offer.

I'll post a picture of the back yard for you non believers and then a pic of the sign when I get it home.

I'm on my phone right now or I would upload a picture now.. Taylor, why you mad bro?

Walking away from a guaranteed $60,000 profit on a sign is one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever heard of. And that's saying something on this board...


What's the over/under on it making it back in one piece? Over/under on timeline til vandalized/stolen?

over/under that op is full of shit?
