This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Tom,, If they're going to sell a piano from the warehouse, then they get = the serial number from the piano which is going to the customer and = write that on the customer's receipt. Period. Also, what's the "documentation" fee for? =20 Something smells fishy here. Kevin. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Tvak@aol.com=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 4:06 PM Subject: visit to Biasco List Thanks to all for the advice... To briefly recap, I was hired to = examine a Yamaha U1 which my client purchased from Biasco Piano. He = wanted me to inspect it before he took delivery. I arrived and was = shown to the piano, which had a different serial number than the one = sold to my client. (!) So I inquired if there was a mistake, but I was = told that this was indeed my client's piano. When I pointed out to them = that it had a different serial number, they told me that they never sell = the pianos off the floor. They take a piano from the warehouse to = deliver to the client. =20 Imagine a car dealer doing that? Unanswered questions: If they don't sell the pianos off the floor, = where did the piano my client bought go? And if they don't sell the = pianos off the floor, then are they intending to deliver yet a different = piano to my client? Am I inpsecting a random U1? Interesting sales ploy: Yamaha U1 advertised for $1695 in the = newspaper. Sign on piano: "To qualify for this price, you must purchase = bench." Cost of bench: $325. (no frills standard bench) My client = tells me he also paid $175 documentation fee. So you can add $500 to = that advertised price. ($2195 for a U1, still not a bad price.)
