Neon - My Escape

While the neon business has dramatically shrunk over the last two years, it still provides me with some sort of therapy. I really enjoy spending time in my plant piddling. I have never been one to sit still and retirement is something I don't think I will ever be interested in doing. My business model is pretty narrow....I specialize in custom neon signs. In other words, I take your idea and turn it into a reality that glows. I don't keep any stock neon signs. 10 years ago, the neon sign market on Ebay was pretty darn good. I would make signs from scratch and had very little difficulty selling them. Today, I may list 10 signs and not get a bid on any of them. Something has got to change in our economy that will spark folks to spend. Rising fuel costs have drained any extra money from my household and I can't help but believe it has done the same for everyone else.
