buying pianos

[Dean May]

Make sure you take your moving trailer and enough cash to consummate the
deal on the spot.

 

Once I bought a piano, paid $100 for it, came back to get it and the woman
wouldn't let me take the bench. Her husband was upset she only got $100 for
the piano and wouldn't let her send the bench. If only I had the trailer at
the first meeting before she got to talk to her husband.

List!

Recently,I had received calls from 2 younger technicians,who are trying to
supplement their tuning business with selling and renting inexpancive,entry
level pianos..

Both of them had some negative experience when they bought piano from a
private party for agreeable price,left $100 depozit and went to the bank or
ATM machine to get the rest of the money By  the time they came to pay for
piano,the seller had sold it to somebody else for a few $$ more..Depozit was
returned to them on the spot,legal recource was out of the question.What
could be done to 'seal the deal" and avoid this cituation???? Hopefully,more
experienced Listers can share their wisdom. Thanx in advance    Isaac.
