Dear Paul, I must confess that I am not expert in appraising such pianos. I have seen so few used D's change hands, especially locally, that I really don't have any comps to use as a guide. I would recommend keeping an eye on the Internet piano lists, including Craig's List. Certainly that price doesn't sound unreasonable, given the cost of a new instrument.
