There is no 6' M&H. It's either 5'8" (A), or 6'4" (BB). If it's an A, it won't bring any where near $25,000, especially with an original action. More like $15,000, and that is if the action had been rebuilt. That makes the whole sale value, as is, a lot less. More like $1500 - $2000. Now, if this was a BB, the figures Ed quoted would be more in line. </BLOCKQUOTE> If it's "around" 6', it's likely to be an AA, which is 6' 2".  The model is molded into the plate.  (Don't tell me they don't exist, because I have one....:-)  I would agree with Ed's figures.  New M and Hs fetch almost 40k for an A, and close to 50 for a BB.  Shops in the SF Bay Area routinely get 12-15k for As in need of lots of work. 4-5 thousand is a good investment for what is essentally the skeleton for a potentially really nice piano.  If it's an AA, the finished product can be pretty stunning.  Just make sure you have somebody else move it for you--it is the heaviest piano of it's size you are likely to encounter.
