R-390 Folks,

The one for auction still bears the serial number 4349.

I got a brochure from an "I Sold-it" store not long ago. I seem to remember 
a fee of 20 percent, but it was a sliding scale, I think.  But I am wrong:

at:
http://www.i-soldit.com/fees.asp
I find:
"iSold It does not charge you anything upfront to list your item. Once your 
item sells, iSold It deducts both our commission and eBay and payment 
processing fees before sending you a check for the balance.

     * iSold It Commission (may vary by store)
       Typically, iSold It's commission is 33% to 40%. The commission maybe 
lower on higher priced items. iSold It charges a $5.00 minimum commission 
per item.

     * eBay Fees
       Listing/Gallery photo fee of $0.75 (assumes $9.99 starting bid) plus 
5.25% of the first $25, 3.25% of the next $975, and 1.5% of any amount over 
$1,000.

     * Payment Processing Fees
       $1.25 plus 3.0% of the total transaction value (sales price, 
shipping & handling and sales tax)"

My reading of this is that if it is consigned to I Sold-It, the seller may 
not make much, even *IF* someone bids the $2500!!
