[pianotech] Upright price

[Tom Rhea, Jr.]

Noah,

 

| The seller was asking $275, to which I immediately responded (the
potential buyer and I were alone) that it was too much, and I would ask for
it for $50, but go up to $100 or even $150. Soon afterwards my attention
went back to the case, which I had forgotten about, and realized it was in
very good condition. |

 

I have to assume that the buyer was looking for a piano that could be played
and not a piece of furniture - a PSO.  It would be useful to know what the
buyer's intentions are/were.  In my opinion, however, your estimate was
probably in line for a restoration candidate.

I should have mentioned that in dismissing the value of the piano, I am
aware in retrospect that I have potentially diminished the values of pianos
everywhere, as a social entity, and am feeling guilty. Perhaps I should have
said: "Heck yeah! It's worth more than that - that's a bargain!"
