Shop online for a wide array of vintage signs, one of the best resources available for adding to your collection. Whether purchasing a vintage sign in an online auction, or purchasing direct from an Internet specialty store, you are bound to find any sign you are looking for with just a click of your mouse (see Resources below).
Search local garage sales, thrift stores and antique shops for vintage signs. You never know when or where you might find the perfect addition to your collection, so leave no rock unturned and keep an eye out at all times for the chance to expand your collection.
Stop for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink at small countryside diners and soda fountains, often known to display and sell old vintage signs. Even if a decorative vintage sign is on display without a price tag, take a chance and ask the manager if he might be willing to part with his sign.
Post a wanted ad on Craigslist and search their "for sale" ads to find vintage signs to add to your collection (see Resources below). Unless you are purchasing very large items, vintage signs can be easy to ship, so considering placing and searching ads in a variety of Craigslist city postings to increase your chances and the variety of collector's items you might encounter.
Tell all of your friends and family that you want to begin or increase your vintage sign collection, so that they can help you in your search. Not only can they let you know if they see a sign you might like, they can also take the opportunity to buy you vintage signs for gift giving occasions such as Christmas and birthdays.
