Facilitating vintage guitar deal ... what fee is fair?

Hi guys,

I hope someone can give me some input on this. I'm currently about to facilitate a higher level vintage guitar deal between two parties (one in Europe, one in the US) and I know that it's common practice to charge a certain fee for that. However, even though I've been playing/loving/selling/trading vintage guitars for a long time, I've never dealt with something this big.

So ... what's the "normal" fee for such a deal (bringing seller & buyer together, organizing transport of guitar, organizing money transaction, etc.)? And who usually pays it?

Thanks a lot - your help is appreciated.
