Samick Upright Value

[Pianoman]

Hi Terry,
Though I am not going to give a price, the killer thing is that it is white. 
That makes for a very limited market and usually a discounted price.

Subject: Samick Upright Value


I inspected a piano today that the owner was going to put up for sale - he 
will place ads in newspapers and sell it through a private sale. I gave him 
a range of prices that I thought would likely be reasonable. I'm just 
curious what any of you folks might think the range of private sale values 
would be.

1990 Samick 48" upright (white). It is the heavy-duty institutional model 
case. Original owner - never/rarely played - hammers have only marginally 
perceptible string grooves (no grooves really, just a faint mark). This 
piano looks like new, plays like new, tone/volume is quite even across the 
entire keyboard. This is a very nice piano in excellent/new condition.

What do you think a reasonable asking/selling price range might be for a 
private sale (midwest prices)?
