Internet Piano Purchase

[Lou Pesce]

Hello,
This sales is ok if both parties wanted to finalize
the sales.  $500 really does not cover the moving
expenses from the seller to the buyer.  What if the
seller find a buyer locally ?  He maybe temp to sell
and save the moving expenses.  This is the trouble of
selling long distance.
