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.
