I mean that the dealer = pays 10 % of the piano's end user price to the guy who brings up the = customer to him. I never tried to get the 10 % from the dealer AND 10 % = from the customer. One can always improve his skills. Merry christmas out there !

I am always happy to work with folks to get rid of the = junk and get a nice piano. The guy is willing to spend up to the $3K to = $4K range (maybe a nice used Yamy upright). He appears to be the type of = guy that simply doesn't have the time to do it himself, but wants it to = happen. He said "find me a nice piano and I'll take care of you". We didn't talk about any specifics. So it seems apparent to me that he is willing to pay a finder's fee if = I find him a nice piano. I am aware that some dealers will sell a piano = for a private owner on consignment. I don't know what percentage is = typical. I sold two bicycles at two different stores for a 25% = consignment fee. I have a third at another store that will charge a 15% = consignment fee. What kind of consignment fees do stores charge for a = piano sold on consignment. Is that any basis for a finder's fee? Has anyone done this sort of thing for a third party? How did it work. = What were the financial arrangements? Thanks. Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
