steinway consignment

[Willem Blees]

When?I had a store in St. Louis, Consignment was 25% of the selling price of the piano, less anything I did to make the piano "saleable". (The customer paid to move the piano to the store.) The reason I said "saleable", was to make sure I also got reimbursed for any touch up. I once had "playable" in the contract, but once I did about 2 hours of touch up on?the case of a piano I took in. After the piano sold, I took the time off the amount I owed the?owner. He said case touch up did nothing for the playing of the instrument. I agreed, and?gave him the extra money. But I learned a valuable lesson. ?

What is the usual arrangement for doing a consignment sale. Private party that is. I would be selling the piano for the owner.



5% minimum plus work needed to make it saleable. Consignment in a store

would be 20 to 30 %, customer would pay moving exp.
