If you break it down, the supplies, moving and most miscellanious expenses will be the same for my piano or a customers. The only difference is the amount of time the piano is in the shop. If you divide the floor space and the cost of overhead between the number of pianos I have in my shop it is not a very high number perhaps a few hundred dollars. Extra expenses such as advertising, phone and potential customer time still only add minimally. To be on the high side lets say it costs me an extra $1000, that still means I made an extra $6k speculating. Certainly worth it to me! <BR>
