Perhaps there's a chance that this is in the shop that's discussed in this thread?

I recently used Craigslist to get rid of a few odds and ends at our place and wasn't getting many responses to our ad and thought that was odd. Later on I happened to log into the webmail page provided by our ISP and found a lot of responses in a junk email folder online. Apparently the anonymous email address with random numbers and letters Craigslist uses to hide your "real" reply-to address was flagged as junk by my ISP, and the Outlook client I normally use never knew they were there.

I believe I saw this mural in the General Store in Railroad, PA. The owner is Skip Kahl and the price that was posted on it was $24,000 (no this is not a typo).

Hope this helps!

Here is the answer I got from the seller.

I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you

what was on craigs list is only the top portion of the billboard

I have included pictures of all the billboard

this is very large dimensions of the top are 78 ½ inches wide and 56 ½ inches tall

the bottom is 78 ½ inches wide and 55 inches tall

the top is rough and unfortunately mounted on Masonite (not my doing)

the bottom is mounted on acid free linen and near perfect

the dimensions of the two together would be 78 ½ inches wide and 110 inches tall

this was an 8 sheet litho and it is amazing that it survived in any condition !

please see pictures and feel free to ask any questions

asking price is $16,000.00 you will not find another one to buy at any price

Thanks for sharing the followup.

I just received the same email as Amberola. So we have our answers. Price is a little steep for me though.

Price is way out of line. Hope he gets it but it want come from me.

I received an email today about the sign. He said he was entertaining offers. I don't think he would be entertained if he knew what I wanted to pay for it. Anyway it's still out of my price range if he cut it in half. Maybe someone here would be interested though.
