Michelle,

 

I also have a simple rule-of-thumb.  I give the customer- in writing, a full
assessment of the piano, its current value and its potential value - then
let the customer decide.  I have had many cases where I have given the
customer dozens of reasons to junk it and they will say "It was Grandmas - I
want to do it"  The money is green, they have made an informed decision, I
have full-filled my obligations and I like to pay my bills- so I do it.
Have a great day!

Michelle,
I have a simple rule-of-thumb.  If the cost of my work far exceeds 
the potential value of the piano I refuse to take the job.
