You must be a true collector. I have a couple of black 221s. I paid $20 and $50 for them.

Maybe I have no sense of their value, but the price seems terribly high to me. Perhaps if I saw pictures it would get me to understand.

In addition to Steve's great instructions you will probably want to resize your picture and "save as" with a different name so you can have both pictures and know which picture you can post. I have an old camera and so my pictures start out smaller than most of the cameras in use now. I reduce a lot of mine by percentage as that is easiest for me, although there are other methods and the "help" section of this board also has many posts about resizing photos to post as evidenced by https://www.google.com/search?q=+res...ges&gws_rd=ssl

You found a 222 wired for American electrical current? Wow!!!! Those are super rare. And you also got a 221? Sounds like a great day to me. Congratulations!

To put it in perspective, I've seen the 222s go for as high as $1800 and white 221s as high as $600-800. To get both a 222 and a white 221 for that price, she scored.

The 222s are extremely rare and the white 221s are not as common as the black.
