Selling Price

[Ron & Lorene Shiflet]

    Be sure to make a substantial profit and to not charge too little.  Once
the piano is sold, it's your reputation on the line and if the customer is
unhappy, you could get call-backs.
    I sell several pianos each year and call backs are rare except for
normal service.  .
