How much is my piano worth?

[Swoxy]

Does anyone know how much is my piano worth and how should I go about selling it? Thanks ...

[GKP]

A grand.



(That was a very poor piano based joke and not a true reflection on its worth.)

Depends if it highlyover-strung, that is the key issue.

Small ads, gumtree, ebay etc.
"Piano - free to good home, buyer collects."

Lots of people like them if only as a piece of furniture. Also good for people with kids just starting out.

Unfortunately uprights tend to be pretty much worthless because a tuneup and a restring will cost more than a new one.

Edit: It looks lovely though. If it works fine and is in tune I'd keep it!

If all else fails - Axe & Sledgehammer = Lots of noise & fun...fully recommended.

A bit messy to clean up, but what the hell. Then chuck it into garden and set on fire, oh yessss

Got to be careful, if you get caught by a snapping string it can kill you quite easily. Piano strings are very tightly strung.

If I remember rightly, someone on here purchased a build-it-yourself-piano-kit. Perhaps, if they never succeeded with the build, they might consider the purchase of yours. Anyone else remember the thread?

ETA: It was Olf.

If its full size, it might be worth about 88 notes. Or something on that sort of scale.

Where abouts in London are you? I've been trying to get my hands on a second hand upright recently....

PM me if you need

Bizarre.

I think we sold ours for about £250. It was a good one so quote a disappointment. They are bloody hard to sell though

I rang a couple of Piano dealers from Yellow pages who viewed and bought.

Older folk like them (I assume).

the old banjo string can be quite nasty too, if that lets go

Give it to Top Gear so they can drop it on another Marina.
