Petroff 52'' piano the other day. Nice piano . The interested person
and myself were discussing the piano outside and agreed that it was a
fair deal. Well, when he went inside ,an extra 1,000.too was added to
the price ,the deal fell thru. I referred him to the local dealer to
check out a Yamaha u1, that I saw the day before.Well the dealer said
he was already in the store . No money for Dan. He was in there
before , a year before looking at a keyboard . Does anyone have
anything to interject.</font></blockquote>

<div>Dear Dan,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>From my point of view, unless you were specifically hired by the
customer to find a piano for them, forget the idea of money for
Dan.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And unless you have it in writing from the dealer, or a strict
verbal agreement, that you are to receive compensation for the actual
act of referring someone to their store to purchase a piano, once
again, forget the idea of money for Dan.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In my book just sending a customer to a store because there was a
piano that they felt was a worthy purchase doesn't validate the right
to be compensated for that specific act, in and of itself.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
