Steve,

I recently Ebay'd two Schwinn dealership signs. One was a little larger than yours and had a working clock; it sold for around $150. The other was a Paramount neon sign and that sold for $175. Based on vintage British sports car signs (and memorabilia which I have lots of experience with), I had expected these would be worth a lot more and I personally way overpaid for these myself not to mention the huge hassle of packaging such an item to prevent damage.

Best of Luck,

Eric
