Describing a deal as "great" is a sure sign of trouble. The buyer will be able to figure out a great deal on their own.


Maybe they are selling a cute piano.
(Kawaii --Japanese for "cute". Kawai ≠ Kawaii)

Maybe the handle of something jammed behind the keyboard.

Another classic! I must be a fool to not buy this as an investment piano!

I always wonder what the “expert” charged for the appraisal.

Cool name on the plate though.

For a mere $400, you can buy this beauty "now" on eBay. The current owner says, "Works great. All keys and hammers and wires are intact. I would strip the paint if I were gonna keep it."

No bids on that beauty.
It looks like someone did 'strip the paint' already.

Imagine if that person had an 'ebay store' . . .
- Old banana peels: two for $25
- Burnt-out refrigerator built in 1975 that has been sitting outside in the rain for two years: $225
- Used syringes, $2.50 each

How about this one ...

Sometimes, just sometimes, the ad is accurate.

This one keeps showing up. Someone is REALLY serious about selling it. It get listed about every holiday. If they would nail a can of Spam on the side of it someone might consider taking it. Yuk

Ouch! They sound so optimistic about the usefulness of those brittle plastic parts! These pianos actually did have some interesting innovations. But who cares if it falls apart?!

She said... Oh I didn't know I had to clean the top off. Or, "gee..... should I go get the vacuum?".

Square pianos are perfect for collection as you can put one on the other, you need less space than with modern pianos.

Throw a table cloth over that square grand and a family could use it for a dinner table too!


As for the clutter one, I think they need a trash can first and then a vacuum cleaner.

Dan,

I was unfamiliar with a place called Burnaby...and my mind made a little slip when I saw the ad....

I saw a square grand and 'Burnbabyburn!'

Somehow, I'm reminded of a two story outhouse.

I'll take the old squares, if I can't fix them, I'll make a nice desk out of them. LOL

The most popular hits I get are the 100 or so calls I get wanting to know how to get the SOLID BRONZE or BRASS harp out of pianos to sell for scrap. You can only tell someone a few 100 times that it's guilded cast iron and magnets only stick to iron and steel. Then they will cut up the strings to get all .98765 cents worth of copper off the Bass strings and spend a week doing that.

Then I get the calls about how they got 6 bucks for the harp at the scrap yard and "it suddenly was not brass " lol

It's like Where's Waldo...

The music rack must be optional.

The first one.... What's missing here.

2nd.... You'll need to excavate this one to get a look.

This one is very sweet....I love how he counted the keys and pedals.

"88 Keys - 36 Blk 52 Wht Number of Pedals: 3"

This one gives new meaning to the term "Piano Bar"

Check out the pedals....

Oh my!

Well, that's in-your-face advertising, isn't it?

I can't imagine that person has any work whatsoever.

Well, I'm certainly not calling him!
