Piano asking price?

[Jon Page]

What's it worth?
What ever he can get for it. Put an ad in the paper for $500 w/ rolls.
If it sells real fast, you know you could have asked more. If it doesn't
sell . . .

Without seeing the piano but guessing on repairs, you are looking at 
8K in repairs for a piano that is worth about $4500 restored.

You take it from there,

PS. If it were a Foster, I know someone who would snap it up in a second.
