Fee</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>I have been asked by=
a client of mine to find a good used piano for their daughter. I=
am always happy to work with folks to get rid of the junk and=
get a nice piano. The guy is willing to spend up to the $3K=
to $4K range (maybe a nice used Yamy upright). He appears=
to be the type of guy that simply doesn't have the time to=
do it himself, but wants it to happen. He said "find me a nice=
piano and I'll take care of you".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We didn't talk about any=
specifics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So it seems apparent to me that he=
is willing to pay a finder's fee if I find him a nice piano. I=
am aware that some dealers will sell a piano for a private=
owner on consignment. I don't know what percentage is=
typical. I sold two bicycles at two different stores for a 25%=
consignment fee. I have a third at another store that will=
charge a 15% consignment fee. What kind of consignment fees do=
stores charge for a piano sold on consignment. Is that any basis=
for a finder's fee?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone done this sort of thing=
for a third party? How did it work. What were the financial=
arrangements?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
