    Have you had better luck placing bandit signs at major intersections in business areas or intersections in neighborhoods?  I am trying to decide where to place mine.  Thanks!  John

    Put the signs in the highest traffic area you can find, BUT be careful to put them in places that make them inconvenient to remove (No medians please).

    You DO understand that placing bandit signs without a permit is 100% illegal, riiiiiight?

    I've placed probably 70% of my signs in neighborhoods and 30% on busy roads.  I've only gotten calls from signs on busy roads.  I've also put signs on meridians and literally seen them disappear within 20 minutes.  

    I second Robin on every point.

    (I also second Greg's point.  But speeding is 100% illegal too.  I still speed.  I'm just a rebel, I guess.)

    I believe they should go in the trash...... they are making are communities unsightly.  There are much better/legal ways of advertising.  Try direct mail.

    I agree with Greg and Rocky.  Bandit signs are illegal, unsightly, and should be thrown in the trash.  On the other hand, I'm not a bandit, so my signs are beautiful.  Please feel free to admire them, and then copy down my number, so you can give it to all your motivated seller friends  :-)
