Assuming Thomas is in the US (or is going to pay 
in USD), If Celga's policy is $10US commission 
per 10,000yen of purchase price, then the 
commission charge would work out to be about 
$300US. Add another $20-$30US in shipping/bank 
transfer fees and the grand total cost for 
aquisition would only be about $330US, which 
isn't too bad, considering.

With the USD so strong against the yen at the 
moement, it might be worth it for an interested 
collector to go get it. Working rate is (I think) 
somewhere around 113yen to the USD at least (the 
Converter gives me a rate of 116.3yen to the USD) 
so 300,000yen is about $2,650USD.

Still more than *I'd* pay for a cel even if I had 
the money to burn. ^_^;;;;  But it is a gorgeous 
cel!! ^_^

Many Sharp Smiles,
