  1. Suggestions starting on ebay advice for newbie

    I was an active seller on ebay many years ago. It used to be a great site, now it's been taken over by scammers and dirt cheap people wanting to make a penny. You can't compete.

  7. Question manufacturing date vinyl

    Manufacturers say 2 years, but it's a guideline and they can sell more vinyl that way. I've used 4 year old vinyl and it's worked fine and held up. Once the edges on the roll shrinks 1/8" then it's pretty serious. But also it's how you take care of it. If it remains in a perfect 75 degree temp...

  16. Banners on pylon sign

    The clips in this sign don't match those in the videos. It's done a different way by inserting a tube through the clip, nothing actually stops it from coming out, it's just pressure holding it. Which is why I don't feel comfortable using them. Average winds are 20 - 25 mph daily, but storm gusts...
