Question
Hi, I am interested in selling my piano, but it has been in my family for over 40 years and I am sad to sell it.  I want to make sure that I don't sell it for less than it's worth.  It is in great condition and everything works well, the only negative is the music holder is a little broken.  It still has its original everything including the bench.  Someone is willing to offer 500 dollars for it.  Do you think that is reasonable?  The serial number is 184895.  Please let me know as soon as possible, this person really would like to have it, but I need to be sure.  Thank you.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

$500 is a very fair offer. I'm afraid in out current economic and musical climate, i doubt you would be able to find a better offer.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
