This would be a tremendous service.  I think the guild should have on
its' website a place where all techs can simply report each sale of a
piano they see.  A rating of 1-10 could be given for each aspect of the
piano (finish, soundboard, action, tone etc.) along with the selling
price and age.  This database would quickly become huge, and would be
sorted by make, model, age to do a search. This would make our
appraisals much more credible and consistent.
