Worth?"</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">... She
asked if I could tell her what her piano is worth...Weber grand, model
wg-51, serial number 025722, She says she paid around 20,000.00 around
18 years ago.I told her I wanted to consult with some of my peers and
mentors and I'd get back to her. It is in near mint condition!
Any advice...anyone?? Thanks Jon Van Buren</font></blockquote>

<div>Jon, List,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It's hard to imagine that model costing that much back then, more
like around $7000, probably less. That same model currently lists in
the zone of $13,500 give or take.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Also, it might be in very nice condition, but near mint,
unlikely.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As to its worth, an on-site inspection by someone who does a lot
of buying and selling pianos would be advisable to make that
determination.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
