It was the easiest 'sell' I ever had for a re-'whatever'. Now, with all this talk about getting paid, I find myself getting a little scared because it WAS an easy sell for this re-whatever. I hope I'm wrong, and my paranoia is unfounded. roo(k) </BLOCKQUOTE> The most important thing to remember is that as long as you have the piano, he has to pay you if he wants it back. The best advice I can give you is, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let the piano out of your shop until he has paid the balance due. Willem </HTML>
