Chuck may be right. Anyway: the eBay.de prices are
(from my statistics -- not covering ALL IS sales --
there were/are so many):
item sales average std-deviation
recorded EUROs EUROs
IS-1 170 57 22
IS-2 62 72 20
IS-3 120 118 40
Note: IS-1/2/3 = IS-1000/2000/3000 over here.
I bought several IS-1 during the last three years, kept
the two "bestest" (body scratches wise), sold the other
again. All were technically fine.
