<BR> You know what , marketing is everything especially with a D and in my
<BR>humble opinion she gave it away. It was worth 45K. I know of one(similar
<BR>vintage) in the sacto area that recently sold for that and then they spent
<BR>more to do the action. A very sweet piano and how much less than retail
<BR>did they pay? A bundle.

<BR>I don't know what the "sacto" area is, but in St. Louis, that is all we could
<BR>get. This guy was savvy. He looked on the Internet and found what other D's
<BR>were going for. Because this lady was tired of dealing with me, and other
<BR>people, she reluctantly agreed to let it go for this. But, I think if she had
<BR>allowed me to take the piano to my store, I know I could have gotten at least
<BR>$40,000 for it. '
