Those "I buy houses cash" signs...

We have all seen those "I buy houses for cash" signs. Do any of you have experience with them? How have they worked?

I began to think that it might be better to create a company name so that when people are ready to sell they can remember the company name instead of a random I buy houses sign. Thoughts?

 That is the other thing - they appear to be directed towards people who are desperate. The market I am trying to go for is people who don't have their backs against the wall

 Wholesaling in general preys off desperate or ignorant people. The signs are illegal in most cities. It is not just "we buy houses" signs, people with any business can't just litter most cities with signs. I know people choose to break the law and use burner numbers to avoid getting caught, but why be "that guy". If you are not smart enough to make your business successful the legal way, you won't be in business long.
