Placed at busy intersections outside the City of Tucson proper (illegal in the city) these signs and signs like them remind me of the freewheeling commerce in the markets of Paramaraibo, Suriname, where I grew up in my teenage years.
This is advertising entrepreneurship at its basic level. The call to action is clear. "I've got what you need. Call me. Let's do business."
It makes a whole lot more sense than giving the Fed carte blanche to take half of our 750 trillion dollars and give it to the banks with no strings attached. I believe my Grandpa was right when he said that the country was going to hell in a handbasket.
After a week, these signs disappeared.

Thanks.
The signs were clear in your Grandpa's day.
Do you suppose the signs are gone because the houses sold. (smirk)
Mike- If you rent a home or condo in Las Vegas you have to be careful because many go back to the bank within months and you have to move again.
They need bandit signs that say, "Government proposes to give $750 trillion to homeowners to help them pay their mortgages!" Of course, these signs would be quickly removed by the banks...
Funniest thing I've seen is the recycled bandit sign. Someone turned their sign (or maybe someone elses) inside out & the print from the other side was bleeding through the new message.
Credibility = ZERO (0)
I always thought these signs were a bit desperate- now I am sure.
Mike, Interesting signs! I agree with Doreen. Maybe they sold...
~~Michael
Michael,
Both numbers are still working numbers.
Peter,
I called the number on the right. It didn't sound desperate.
Steve,
There's a new twist!
Robert,
The same holds true in Arizona. Renter beware!
Doreen,
Michael T missed the smirk. :)
Michael C,
I'll give you a call today.

Mike,
Signs of the times?
That is a little scary. Bet you could start a group here on AR "Sign of the Times" and just allow sign photos but it might get depressing....
your friend for Charlottesville Real Estate!
follow me on Twitter!
I remember these signs in the two real estate crashes in the 80s and 90s. Today's is the worst.
Why did the signs disappear? Some of our counties have sign ordinances that would not permit them.
Yup, it's not pretty out there. Not going to rant.... just stopping by to say hi. Hope you noticed I left you off the MeMe list today!
Mike,
I think that teh money that we are giving to the banks don't need strings it needs a ROPE tied to it.
"After a week, these signs disappeared." Gosh, and it took the Treasury 8 weeks to spend our $350 billion....
I thought this was funny in a way too. The other day I was donating platelets at the local blood center and the phlebotomyst (I think that's how you spell it) told me he was now a real estate "whole seller" and proceeded to tell me how he was going to make money finding sellers who needed to sell and hooking them up with "investors and he would take a cut. He learned it all from a course he purchased on the Internet and there was no need for a license or further training...He is a nice guy and kept asking me about homes available etc. I was spechless (a rare thing for me) but your picture reminded me of the numerous schemes that pop up in all markets good or bad. I may suggest that he make a sign like one of those in your picture and post it in the roadways to find some business!
Russell,
It sounds like some blood sucker got ahold of your phlebotomist!
Ann,
Now that made me laugh!
Don,
You made me laugh, too. Thanks for stopping by.
Susie,
Thanks for leaving me off the MeMe list. Those things need to follow the DoDo bird into oblivion.
Lenn,
The county sign police trash 'em.
Charles,
You're right. It would be too depressing.
Cynthia,
Yup!
