gray market

[David Love]

Directly and with the truth.  That's what they are paying you for.  The
value will depend on its condition, tone, etc..

I just discovered that a Yamaha G3 that I have to give an appraisal on  is 
very likely a gray market piano.What I know at this point is that they 
bought it from a Vancouver dealer 14 years ago for 7k.Assuming that it is 
still holding up what might you think is a fair value? I'm also assuming   
that the clients don't realise the truth. Any suggestions on approaching 
them?
Much appreciated.
