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> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry = Farrell</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
