[pianotech] Collection Agencies

Actually, RN was technically in violation of the law (which is what  
sit-in's were, of course, having participated in several), and while RN is an  
imposing figure and one perhaps not to be trifled with, this might not be a  
recommended course. I realize RN was merely illustrating a point.

My  first year in business as an independent, I did a  
rebuild/soundboard/refinish for someone. I delivered the piano 
before  getting paid. First year, remember, and didn't seem to 
be able to get the  guy to send me a check for the job. After a 
couple of months of dancing  around it to no effect, I went to 
his place of business, where he sold  airplanes. I walked in, 
announced who I was and why I was there, and  PROMISED that I 
would sit in the reception area as long as it took,  discussing 
the overdue invoice and general trustworthiness of the  
business owner with everyone who walked in the door in great 
detail  until a check for the balance appeared in my hand. 
Within the hour, having  repelled only one walk in potential 
client, I had a check and was on my  way to the bank.

I much prefer mutual trust and consideration to this  sort of 
stuff.
Ron  N
