Neon valuation - lead glass

Hi all.  I'm getting ready to sell my neon equipment, and a local bender wants to make me an offer on all of my old glass.  This is all the older leaded type glass, and I have about fifty cases of mixed colors and sizes plus a couple of cases of mixed exotic colors, some 5' tubes, mostly 4 ft.  

Can anyone give me an idea of what this might be worth?  This is probably a tough question sight-unseen, but any advice would help.  I had been told there might be some value in this glass since it's leaded.

Thanks in advance - Mike

Sell your glass with the equipment... Any decent neon shop would love to have the old glass for repairs... But the value to you will come with offering the glass to whomever buys the equip.

Thanks Gary.  I think that's a good idea.  Appreciate the input.  Do you think you could give me an idea of what value to put on - say, a full carton of 15 mm x 6500 white - (new, old stock)?

Sorry, haven't bought glass for 18 years  damn.  Any supplier can give you prices.  18 yrs ago it was 3.60 per lb for white  if memory serves correctly.  Have you sold, or itemized your equip.ent and price?

Gary, thanks for the response.  I did ask some of the local suppliers about the value of the old glass, but they couldn't give me any idea.  They did put me in touch with a large shop in Florida - they are offering a pretty nice premium over the price of new glass, and they want all of it.   

As far as the equipment itself, I'm working with a local guy who wants to buy the whole plant, so I'm pretty sure it's sold now.

      Skyhook 100hd cable sizes

      It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

      Digital Signage is Revolutionizing Hospital Communication: 6 Big Advantages

      By wipathcommunications · Posted

      Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
