No money making suggestions here, but a fun, somewhat dangerous and
satisfying one instead.  Find a really big machine shed with a concrete
floor.  Have a bunch of friends come over and divide them into two teams.
Each team, located at opposite ends of the machine shed, runs with/rolls a
piano towards the middle of the building, aiming at the other piano.  When
collision is imminent, team members jump away and run like hell.  Pianos
collide and make a big sound.  Continue activity until all pianos are
destroyed.  Pile remains of pianos outside and light with match.  Roast
marshmallows on 10 foot long sticks.  Tell piano ghost stories and sing Kum
Ba Yah.
