So does anyone know what a good selling price would be? >>         No one knows anything until a buyer pays the money!   We are all just guessing at these older pianos' value, at best.      I don't see many of these on the market, either.  but a 28 year old Yamaha concert grand might be worth $40,000 if the board is still good and sustain still sufficient.  I wouldn't expect to see a higher price, but having to go lower wouldn't surpise me, at all.  I have seen some E-bay deals that stunned me, ( a 1978 Steinway D for $24,000, really nice shape and now in a recording studio).    Since you asked, do the list a favor by letting us know what the piano ultimately sells for when it does!
