Noah, | The seller was asking $275, to which I immediately responded (the potential buyer and I were alone) that it was too much, and I would ask for it for $50, but go up to $100 or even $150. Soon afterwards my attention went back to the case, which I had forgotten about, and realized it was in very good condition. | I have to assume that the buyer was looking for a piano that could be played and not a piece of furniture - a PSO. It would be useful to know what the buyer's intentions are/were. In my opinion, however, your estimate was probably in line for a restoration candidate.

Perhaps I should have said: "Heck yeah! It's worth more than that - that's a bargain!" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
