I have three of these neon Carvel signs that I got for next to nothing. I have no idea have much I should list them for. Any suggestions? It seems like i'm going to get killed with shipping and packing. Maybe high BIN? How much? Auction with reserve? What kind of reserve?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If I may be honest, I think there may be more interest in the ice cream cone by itself as Carvel is still in business and that is a basically modern sign. I know they aren't cheap but I think the market as a collectible isn't there yet. I may be completely wrong but that's my opinion. You may have better luck taking it/them to local Carvel stores and asking those owners whether they would have any interest in them. There is a bunch of them around- Carvel Ice Cream | Store Locations

I agree with all of it especially about the ice cream cone. I just know that the signs new are about 2000-3000 a piece. Carvel is a large chain and there has to be store owners looking to replace old, broken signs. Even if I could get 400-500 each, i'd be happy.

I'd be tempted to list them for $600-$750, maybe with a best offer option.

Crating and shipping would be extra.

They'll sell eventually.

That's Clovis. Glad to know that I'm not crazy thinking I can sell them.
