I think 50% is quite high for an older Steinway in excellent condition, considering I get about 52% for a totally rebuilt Steinway. Am I getting too little for my work? What do you think Dale.

Surely someone has ideas on a price?
JAMES;
Based on my opinion and experience in my area pricing would go something like.
Excellent condition= 50% of current retail...... someone said it was 90,000 so 40-45,000 would be in the ball park.
Good condition= 35% of current retail or 31,500.
Fair condition= 20% of current retail or 18,000
Rebuild stock= 6,000 to 9,000
A dealer friend of mine recently sold a rebuilt Louis XV for 32,000 plus an Appolo grand trade-in.
so I know I am in the ballpark for my area. Other areas and mileages may/will differ.
