Hi James   Well, Don't forget the pre-owned/rebuilt market has been upside down across the country even in the high end so the  Louis M may not sell for any thing approaching a price we all consider usual. & It is an M after all....all dressed up, but still....an M   I sold a beautiful 1952 Stwy B in standard Walnut case with New action Strings etc. for a similar price I've heard suggested for the M & even that wasn't easy. The Louis is a Specialty piano, it's gorgeous & desirable.....now just figure out how to connect with the right client.  This is the tricky part in our market today. AMHIK.   Also who & where it may sell has an enormous amount to do with pricing. But you already knew that. Good Luck   Dale <div id=AOLMsgPart_0_f9001e4a-5198-44bb-b727-ffa149e5aae3 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff"> Hi List,  > Does anyone have access to what a new (M) retailed for in 1985.
