Bidding has opened on a series of decommissioned Toronto street signs, the first of what is said to be several batches that will be sold by auction. A badly rusted but familiar sign for Hillsdale Ave. that hung at the corner of Duplex Ave is among this series of signs. The sign has collected five bids to stand at $75. But there are still 60 days bidding to go. It’s easy to see how these signs might fetch much more money than one might think. A sign off of Mt. Pleasant Rd. autographed by Mayor Ford is doing well for just a few hours of bidding. The price to beat is $215 offered by “eva”. The signs are nicely displayed on the site of Palladium Liquidations Inc. Over the next 12 or more months more than 1500 of the decommissioned signs will be made available for auction, with additional signs added each week. Each sign will be posted for 60 days and is only available through the auction process The minimum opening bid is $30 with bidding continuing in increments of $5. You will need to register (it’s free) on the Palladium site in order to bid. A countdown timer displays the ending date and time for each sign. A certain number of signs will be autographed by Toronto personalities Successful bidders can have their purchase shipped by Canada Post (shipping cost extra) or picked up in person at Platinum at 1001 Petrolia Road, Toronto. Signs being auctioned. Old street sign auction gets underway in Toronto
