 An  8"x10" aluminum warning sign used to placard a 500 mR/hr area has been
bid
 up to $47.99 in 12 bids! Don't these signs sell for less than $48 new today?

A similar sign by the same seller  for high explosive warning- See:

eBayitem 76334798 (Ends 03/16/99 18:52:08 PST) - DANGER HIGH EXPLOSIVES -

 is only at $11. I guess this gives some sort of idea of the public's
