Two things it might be. Fuse or swich. Best way to tell. When does it shut off?
As soon as you let go of the swich/string? Bad swich
After it has stayed lit for 3 seconds -15 minutes? Bad fuse(which may be indicitive of a bad transformer)
In short ask better question get better awnser

Why is neon so cheap when its rare?
it takes years of practice and alot of mechanical eye-hand coordination to heat up a hollow glass tube and bend it to a custom shape. Each bend is done alone, one at a time. An "open" sign (4 letters) is difficult to bend up in less than 40 minutes. And that is just the glass bending part. Then it must be properly bombarded (heated up with electricity - enough to kill dozens of people if they got too close to the sign while it was being processed) and filled with the proper gas in order to properly light. Well made neon can last 20, 30 or even 50 years. I have repaired neon tubes that are so old, they have components that are unrecognizable. And I've been in the biz for more than 20 years. Neon transformers are expensive... costing $40 to $110 from the manufacturer. A markup on labor and materials must be made. And neon is fragile, so one must plan on breaking some now and then, and figure that into the price. A typical neon sign can cost $200-500 for the inside of a business window... and many 1,000's of dollars for the outside of a business. Electric signs must usually be listed by an independent laboratory as "being safe", be inspected by the city or county or state where they are being installed, and require permits to install. All of this adds to the cost. Neon signs use high voltage and can easily start a building fire if they are not manufactured and installed properly. A high voltage arc from a neon tranformer can track over air 3 to 5 inches in length and is hot enough to easily light up a cigarette.
