Looking for the Domino Sugar sign Miller produced a little while back. Can be new or lightly used. Email is in profile.

Still looking for this, Miller says they have no extra stock
Multiple retailers online list it in stock, call them and they don't have it, so frustrating.
Taking a trip to Baltimore this weekend to look for one, but open to any forum members who have one as well
None at the Timonium train show. Still looking.
Thought I had another lead on one, but nothing. Anyone?

Tried them, no answer to emails, no phone number listed, no way to move past the cart on the order page. I'm guessing out of business
Andrew, I looked at the site I purchase some of my signs, but did not see it listed. It may be worth a call to see if they might have any lead on one for you. Here is the site: http://lights4models.com/index.php/

Why not post your desperate offer in dollars you are willing to pay?
Looks like Lights for Models makes custom signs too. Not sure what they are capable of or if the price is right as compared to someone selling you a sign they have implemented in their layout. As WB47 suggests, some one may be willing to give theirs up, but at a higher cost than the original.

I sense a hint of rudeness in your reply. Got one? Willing to sell it? Email me what you think it's worth and we can go from there...
As to how "desperate" I am, this is a WTB forum on a site where people might have the thing and not be using it. I don't need to go into detail for you or anyone else why it's important to me, but suffice it to say that it carries some significance to me.
Have you tried here? They have one listed.

Indeed I did.
I also tried Port Lines, Pacific Western Rail, eBay (including an old listing that showed as having not sold), MB Klein, and Trainz (neither said they had it, just figured I'd give them a shot)
OK, so a gentler approach, why not say what you are willing to pay? You know what the list price is.

Do you have one to sell? If so, email me. I'm 1) not going to haggle publicly about a price, or 2) going to set a price in a WTB post that limits me- price is dependent upon condition, whether it is still in original blister, whether the power pack is included, etc.
I'll say this: Unless it has issues, I am willing to pay at least original MSRP which was around $42. I'm willing to pay more than that, so long as price is reasonable (I'm not paying triple MSRP) and it is in a condition worthy of paying a premium.
I want to add, though, that it isn't typical to post a price in a WTB thread given the purchaser doesn't get to set prices, the seller does.
Give Esther's Hobby Shop a call. 219 North Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15209. It is a N scale store, but they had a brand new one on the shelf as of last Saturday. I didn't see the price though. Their number is (412) 821-2415.

Wow, thanks! I'll be calling them first thing tomorrow
If you haven't tried .... Google it .... quite a few hits came up. Baltimore's MB Kliens / Model train stuff .. on the web, the 100 yr old best shop, good prices shows it as out of stock. last and only of a real first class train shop around Baltimore. don't know of any other around here so don't make the trip just for the sign. Their site is always up to date but doesn't hurt to call and ask

Rick, trust me, I've done that a ton. I found four places listing it as in stock, none actually had it.
But, I just called MB Klein, they said they put in a request to Miller for these to go back into production, but haven't heard back. They're going to contact Miller to see where that stands. They said they receive calls about this one fairly regularly (makes sense with where they're located). They hope they can get the sign back into production.
Corp, just called Esther's, they had a number of Miller signs, including several out of production, but didn't have this one.
As it is, still looking.
Andrew ..... I here ya .... we both have the same problem ... I have been looking for an Engine for months off and on ... their sites or the MTH product locator says they have it ... call them and they don't have it ... have not had it for months / years..... very frustrating ..... Next stop TCA York
Good Luck : )
You better get you one that will fit the building , you are constructing, and that way you're wired up, and the only
thing you would need to do, is pull the electronic sign, off, and put your Sugar ( if found), on it, I truly thought Coppertone
was going to go as the next impossible find, Wonder what makes them disappear in the order they do !!!
HAPPY TO SAY I FOUND SOME!
$35 each. Thanks to those who tried to help me out on here!
Great News! Glad it worked out.
