buying pianos

[AlliedPianoCraft]

I have them sign a contract and I always take the bench and music desk (movers might damage them) ;>). Never had that problem again.

  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.
