Jim,<div>Around here (Boston MA suburbs) a listing on <a href="http://craigslist.com">craigslist.com</a> can usually connect a viable piano with a grateful recipient. But the lessened demand does mean considerably fewer dollars are exchanged in the transaction.</div>

persons wanting to get rid of perfectly good pianos, that isn't matched by the
demand for used pianos.</font></div></div></blockquote></div></div>
