For me, just four frames, all of an illuminated Pentax sign (about 2 feet
long) bought from a photo dealer that was going out of business. It cost me
$20 (US$10) which is a damn good price for any sort of illuminated sign on
the collector's market here (sign collectors, not camera collectors.).
I had to remove it myself, which basically involved standing on a ladder and
hitting the heads of six large screws with a cold chisel.
This was the same place that sold me a used AF400T in excellent condition
for $200 (US$100).
The guy on the counter was totally dumbfounded that anyone would want to pay
$20 for an old sign. I wonder what it would be worth if it said "Leica"? :-)
Their other major piece of advertising is a giant Ricoh KR5 on the roof. It
would be 4 - 5 feet wide and a full 3d model. This must have been some sort
of Ricoh promotional piece as I am sure that another local shop had one too.
