Directly and with the truth. That's what they are paying you for. The value will depend on its condition, tone, etc.. David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of J Pengelly Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 9:53 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: gray market I just discovered that a Yamaha G3 that I have to give an appraisal on is very likely a gray market piano.What I know at this point is that they bought it from a Vancouver dealer 14 years ago for 7k.Assuming that it is still holding up what might you think is a fair value? I'm also assuming that the clients don't realise the truth. Any suggestions on approaching them? Much appreciated.
