                                       - 50 -                                         
          totaled $2,628.15  Accordingly, we conclude that petitioner is              
          entitled to a cost-of-goods-sold allowance of $2,628 with respect           
          to the $3,000 in sales to Ted and Brian P. and sustain                      
          respondent’s determination only to the extent of $372.                      
               Respondent determined that petitioner had unreported income            
          of $2,775 in 1990 from the sale of additional electronic                    
          equipment to Howard S.  Howard S. paid petitioner $2,775 for                
          electronic equipment in that year.  Petitioner sold him a 52-inch           
          rear-projection television and two answering machines.  The rear-           
          projection television cost $2,902, including taxes and shipping,            
          while the answering machines cost her $210.16  As petitioner has            
          shown that she had product costs for goods transferred to Mr. S.            
          in 1990 that exceed the amount that respondent determined was               
          paid to her by Mr. S., we conclude that petitioner has                      
          demonstrated error in respondent’s determination and do not                 
          sustain it.                                                                 



               15 Petitioner’s brief overstates by $100 the cost of                   
          equipment purchased on Feb. 22, 1990, and resold to Ted and Brian           
          P.                                                                          
               16 Mr. S.’s complaint in his previously noted lawsuit                  
          against petitioner states that he never received the projection             
          television set.  His later affidavit states, however, that he               
          received the set, but that it was in defective condition and he             
          never received a replacement.  Petitioner has submitted evidence            
          of the purchase of the set, its delivery to Mr. S., and two                 
          service calls to repair the set.  On this record, we conclude               
          that Howard S. paid for and received a 52-inch rear-projection              
          television.
