I quite agree.  I've bought about 10 pianos on eBay in the past year 
and a few of them are real treasures that I'd been looking out for 
for years.  Here's a little gem I bought last week for £5 -- a 
Kirkman "cottage overstrung" from 1881 with fine ivory keys.  It has 
no commercial value, of course, but if I relied on people contacting 
me with pianos for sale and spent hours of time and gallons of fuel 
going to see their rubbish it would take me forever to get 
interesting stock.
