how to make a 'changeable' FOR SALE sign

[edprush]

How would you suggest that I make a FOR SALE sign that can be used multiple times?

I have several things (lawn tractor, industrial snow blower, camper/trailer)that I want to sell (one at a time) until I get around to the final item to be sold...my house.

I plan to put the sign in my yard with the item being sold next to it.

Is there any kind of sign that I could use/make that might not cost more than a $100 to buy/build and that I won't have to throw away or repaint after I sell each item?

Thanks.

vinyl lettering, it can be removed

Plastic sign + lamination + dry erase marker FTW!

Why don't you get a thick plastic sign that won't wear down when it rains?

What does vinyl lettering adhere to? In other words what material does the signboard need to be?

Buy a piece of large, flat wood.

Get pieces of cardbard.

Get a marker or paint+brush

Staple cardboard to wood.

Write on cardboard with marker/paint/both/whatever.

Tear cardboard off when finished.

When you go to sell your house, but a nice sign from Lowes/Home Depot. Total cost: $20.

Board + white paint + black paint? Paint the board white, with black letters. Paint over with white again and you have a clean slate.

I was hoping not to paint the sign each time.

Coroplast. Just like cardboard, but plastic. You can get small sheets at the craft store or larger sheets at a sign company.

the preprinted ones on walmart too small for you?
some of them are huge.

Blackboard paint. Write on it with chalk, wipe it off.

It would work if it never rained here.

The larger ones are probably big enough but I want one that I can use over...after I sell one thing, then I can change the 'writing/lettering' for the next item.

Right now I'm using one of the preprinted ones with a piece of paper taped to it that has the 'details' of the item I have for sale. It works okay but still kinda cheesy.
