IBS,

A great end to the story of a great find. Congrats!
Considering that the catalog value was 10K+ and it sold for 1K+ I think the sale price was right in the ball park. A lot of material I purchase goes for around 10% of catalog, so I think you did just fine on the sale.

Just another point of interest... You have to wait 43 days from the date of sale for settlement. I guess that makes sense considering the number of lots they have to handle.

I was just thinking that if you figure the amount of time each of us has spent searching through kiloware vs. the amount we realized in actual sales from our search, IBFS's wage may actually be a whole number. I am at afraction of a penny myself.

Sometimes if I find an unused 1c stamp, I feel like I actually got paid for my time...
