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.
