Jim, How about donating the better one's to The 'Salvation Army' or other non-profit thrift stores, like Goodwill, which benefit low income folk. Here in this part of Texas, the Salvation Army has a large center which accepts and resells donated funniture, .including pianos. When I get a call from someone wanting 'sell' a low value instrument, I suggest they can get a donation tax receipt, and some 'goodwill', by passing the piano on to one of these places.
