Yes, SEPTA sells signs that are no longer needed, and that's something they deserve credit for--every bit of extra revenue helps. Actually, though, I'm surprised they're selling the Malvern signs. While they no longer serve Parkesburg, they do terminate a lot of R5 trains in Malvern.
Now for obtaining signs for other lines, your best bet is to keep an eye out on (or off) the right of way adjacent to the tracks. I happened to notice today a 30th Street Station sign that had gotten lost (off the property), and would have claimed it but for a lot of snow that would have made it a bit dangerous to go get. I'll pick it up next week, unless somebody with an extra bottle of good scotch wants to know where it is and contacts me offline....
