Hello Julia, There are two appraisals that apply here. One is " Replacement Value " The meaning is just what it indicates. Which is the dollar amount you can reasonably expect to replace this piano with a like or similar piano of equal value. On my appraisals I add in a reasonable length of time, which I use ( 60) days. The other is " actual cash value " this is the amount of money you can reasonably expect to sell your undamaged piano for in a reasonable length of time, again I use ( 60 ) days. If you are going to appraise pianos I suggest you get an appraisal form. Most have a disclaimer clause. The one use I get from the " Nebs Co." 1-800-225-6380 _www.nebs.com_ (http://www.nebs.com) . It is product #128. They are in triplicate looks very professional and have a disclaimer clause. This is what I use in my " Appraisal Class " If it would help I will mail you a copy of mine.
