Hey, yeah, it's me, back on the boards! Hope y'all doing fine. Look:

I have a large 6ft x 8ft working neon sign replica of the sign over the door of Rick's bar in the film CASABLANCA: "Rick's Cafe Americain." I need to sell it!

Maybe you love the film CASABLANCA? Maybe you're building a CASABLANCA-themed home theater? Maybe you collect neon signs? Or movie memorabilia? This is a truly one-of-a-kind item!
  • Approx 6ft x 8ft, about 1ft deep, 2-level sheet metal structure.
  • Custom made for a single-location restaurant marquee, saved from demolition.
  • Interior steel struts removed for easy 2-man lifting. (Two struts remain for professional hanging.)
  • Custom-wired for home 120w electric use. (Industrial transformer has been removed.) Works!
  • Custom-cut, custom-installed Plexiglass protective shield.
  • Please note: This is the not the actual sign used in the film. This is merely a huge, custom-made working replica. Would look awesome in your home theater.

I'm now located in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the sign is big, heavy, fragile (glass!) and can not be shipped. It can be carried away, though, in a truck with lots of padding. (That's how it got here, from Baltimore, many years ago.)

If you're interested, you can email me directly blue.parrot at yahoo dot com (that's "blue dot parrot at..."). I have pictures and an info sheet I can send you. If you know a CASABLANCA fanatic who would just plotz to have something like this, please bring us together!

Thank you!

    Price, price... I dunno. What's it worth to ya?

    I need at least a few thousand dollars for it. But, you have to come and get it. So, I'm flexible.

    I need the garage space.

    That is a nice piece. But such a collector's item would be better served at an auction, or God forbid, ebay with a RESERVE price if you need a few thousand?

    I don't want it, but you do need to list a price.

    Good lord, The Rules ****.

    What have things come to?

    I need eight grand for the sign -- a bargain for a one-of-a-kind thing-a-ma-bob like this -- and you'll have to come and get it in Charlotte with two guys, a truck, a few dozen couch cushions and a way home that doesn't involve the washboard roadway of I-85 between Charlotte and Petersburg. Come an get it, boys!

    Happy now?
