I can't see how they were taken advantage of - they spent $350, and it is probably worth that in raw materials. It is unfortunate that the store won't refund their money, but "getting even" isn't the answer I think. A second hand store can't possibly know whether or not a piano is suitable for resale - it's the customer's responsibility when purchasing anything second hand to make sure it will fulfill their needs. Perhaps a good way to help them - rather than declaring war on a second hand store - is to re-pin those 12 loose pins for them. The goal is to get them a working piano right?
