> << I wrote a positive report of the piano and recommended the buyer offer > > several hundred dollars below the asking price. We all try to do the best for our customers (hopefully). Suggesting offering less than what you felt the piano was worth is an attempt to help. However, in the future, consider this approach. You are hired to evaluate a piano for purchase. You give a written evaluation of the condition with an estimated purchase value. The purchase value should meet or exceed what you would be willing to pay, subjective issues aside. DO NOT suggest to the customer *how* to make the purchase. That is up to them. Most people will try negotiating a deal without you suggesting it. Then if it falls through, your offer of full value is not questionable. My $2 worth. (inflation) Debbie
