Marshall,

I'm from the St. Louis, MO area. I have found, that at least, in this
area, they are moving very very slowly and cheaply. The best gauge I've
found is to check eBay.

Good Luck, Duaine

I'd have to check it out to get an actual look at it.  I'm wondering first, does this person have a chance at selling this old piano. She thinks it's a 100 year old piano.  I asked her to provide the serial number, but she has not as of yet.  Are these pianos worth rebuilding? If so, is there anyone out there in my area, Chicago interested in an old piano for this type of project?   What can I do to help her sell the piano as in the role of a piano broker?  If its a hopeless case, what should I tell her.  Thanks.
