Selling a Piano: What a pain in the donkey
We recently decided to sell our apartment sized Piano. We had had it for 18 years and it is in mint condtition. We bought it for my daughter and she has long since moved out. She live 1000 miles away, and nobody here plays. It is such a lovely piece of furniture we kept it.
Now my wife wants new floors and it has to go.
We contacted a company that specializes in resales and they want us to move it to their showroom and we will get 1200 to 1400 if we are lucky. It costs 200 to have it moved.
The thing is absolutely mint condition, and I am totally amazed that it has gone down so far in value. You would think it would have at least kept it's value.
We will have to factor in the moving in the price, and the whole hassle is almost not worth it. I just had to vent and was wondering if any of you had a smiliar experience and what other options I have.
I am not looking to make a huge profit, but the thing doesn't have a mark on it.
The Blues is alright!
