Sorry I didn't mean to leave you guys hanging but I work 2nd shift 3:30pm-2am.
First of all I would like to apologies to merlin for getting off track from his original post. If I were you I would put your sign on ebay and set the reserve to what you think is fare and see what happens. Post the sale on the different boat site and watch it take off.
I would love to take this project on but working the hours I do 7 days a week I just can't. I used the internet and contacted commercial sign companies that produced neon sign and didn't have much luck. Then email the ones on ebay and it still wasn't working. I called a company here in Indianapolis and asked if they did custom work and told them what I wanted and they said no problem. I get a little stupid some times and if I want something it really doesn't matter how much $$$ or what I have to do to get. With that being said I don't think $300-$400 is going to do it. If it does I'll take another one. Ryan Beckley here on OSO did the Carbon Fiber graphic. With the size sheet he used for the large logo he filled extra space up with all sizes of smaller ones for me. What a great guy to do business with. Then I took it down to the company and dropped it off. They then mounted it on plexiglass. The unit that runs the neon I think runs around $150. and then the glass tubing and labor. I picked mine up but you guys are going to have to tack on shipping. I don't think a box with some bubble wrap is going to get. It should really be crated. I will wait for chuckd1025 to post a price and see how it compares to what I paid. Another reason I don't want to get to involved is I don't want to pi$$ the big guy off because that logo is copyrighted and you might need Skips pemission to mass produce.

Well I went to the shop today and got the quote on the signs. I can get them done for 500 + shipping. Doug after taking the picture to the shop they are pretty sure what all the materials are to make it like the one you have but if this goes through and people want to buy I would like to make sure so its just like the one you have. Also the shipping as the neon tubing is very easily broke as he stated it will have to be crated. Before i take any orders and if people are interested i'll definitely make a sample and take a picture so everyone knows what they are getting and satisfied. The more that buys the less they will be also. So if we can get 12-15 orders they will be around 450 a piece instead of the 500.
