[pianotech] Gems in the junkpile

Once a piano-centric society, ours has become so piano-illiterate that, perusing Craigslist, one may find real junkers advertised for $$$$$$$, and the occasional gem for only $, or even for free. (Or, at least, free to a tax-deductible organization: such as a church, school, or retirement home.) So, I'm wondering how one might avail oneself of this situation to make a few $, while being of service to others by helping them avoid buying disasters. Perhaps one could advertise "Great pianos, cheap!", and then serve as a "scanner" and "consultant"? Then go along with the customer, for a fee, to examine the chosen prospect, make sure it has no serious problems, get the price down if warranted ( splitting the difference) and then help with the move, and other typical aspects of used piano acquisition, such as cleaning, regulation and tuning?
