I still suggest a hosted solution like Yahoo! or Ebay Prostores - $50 a month is not a high cost relative to running a business. He will be paying someone money either way. It is not realistic to say that a $300 one time fee will get him everything he needs to run a robust online store that has hundreds of products, accepts multiple payment methods, SSL certificate, multiple template options, etc. The highest costs are indeed incurred when hiring someone like myself to customize the look and functionality 
OR, going through multiple cheap online store/shopping cart solutions because you can't find one that meets your needs.
I'm not even trying to solicit business through my posts, this is my objective opinion.

Zolacat999,
I now understand that NS offers online stores and not e-commerce. Thank you for educating me. Do you know how much would cost to have a online store that includes everything (or most of) that's in the Pro-Ecommerce package (http://www.networksolutions.com/e-commerce/package-comparison.jsp) ?
Thank you kindly.

It is hard to give a full estimate because there are alot of different variables involved.
1) It depends how often your stock changes, but you would need to have them added manually, if not to much changes this can easily be done for a small fee per month ie $15.
2) It also depends on how many items you have because they will have to be added individually as far as i can see from a web development point of view i don't know how you would be able to add 100,000 items with out a large development team like amazon's.
3) most of the plus points about NS are just rubbish, and if you don't order a year at a time with them you don't even get a domain name
So to conclude i would say an online store would cost around $600-$800.
But that could vary alot and sorry about the previous post it submitted by mistake
