>From the information given, I'll assume the piano is in "average" or "good" condition.

IMHO:

A private sale midwest USA price might be around $4-5K - maybe as high as $6K.

A dealer midwest USA price with some cleanup might be around $6-7K

  This is a 5'10" oak finish Kawai grand in remarkably good shape considering it's age. Tuning pins are tight, action could use a regulation and hammer shape but it doesn't appear to have been played much. The finish has some sun fade, and was "touched up" in places on corners and around the fall board which now stand out with the sun fade. I was asked to look at it for the family the owner is in a nursing home, the house and contents are being either split among relatives or sold. If taken by a relative it must have a fair market value placed on it. I'm open to opinions/suggestions.
