My client has asked me to find a buyer but we seem to have over estimated value .An Advertisement @ 18K in a majorBostonpaper received no response. I can't offer a number either, but perhaps the client should consider computing the piano's original purchase price against the depreciation schedule published by Steve Brady (and I think used in Larry Fine's book as well). And then take into consideration any aspects of the piano which may be less than perfect. Or perhaps that's how you came up with your number in the first place? Patrick Draine Patrick, I use that schedule myself, but it uses the replacement cost as a benchmark to depreciate from. As this piano is no longer in production the challenge is to find the cost of a new piano that is close in design and performance and" cache". Often when you factor the increase in cost of lets say a Steinway M @ 15 to 20 years old, and run the depreciation schedule (assuming good condition) the calculation will give result in a dollar value very close to the original purchase price. That was my rational for the asking price but without result as I mentioned in my earlier post. Thanks for the input Pat. See you soon.
