Wayne There is a chapter in my book on consignment sales. Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Mililani, Oahu, HI 808-349-2943 Author of: The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Lutzow <ibetuner at sbcglobal.net> To: PTG <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 5:59 am Subject: [pianotech] consignment Has anyone ever taken any pianos on consignment? I haven't got a clue but have a lot of thoughts about it in my head. An 85 year old lady for whom I have tuned would like me to take her piano on consignment. She is moving and she says she trusts me. We talked and once or twice she was almost in tears about how the conversation was going since said I might not be able to do it. I told her I'd have to do some research on how to handle this. All she said was, "oh, I trust you"...like the decision had already been made when I hadn't agreed to any thing. I have a small crowded shop with several pianos in it already. I do have avenues for sales presentation. How would you do it? ?I'm a softy for old ladies. Thanks, Wayne R.
