steinway consignment

[David Love]

There are different types of fees for different situations.  Finding a buyer
when you don't actually take a piano in will be different than taking the
piano in, cleaning it up, making repairs, etc..  On the other side is simply
making a referral to a seller who then closes the deal.  The range can be
quite broad and each situation should be considered differently.

I did one about a year ago (Model 1970s L). The piano needed to be rebuilt. 
I found a buyer for them for 10%. It sold for $8K. So I made $800 for about 
three hours work - one to look at the piano and two hours at most to make a 
few calls. Worked for me.
