Manufacturer’s
History:
The
piano will have 4 values:
- Replacement Value would be
between $
to $ .
This is what it might cost for you to replace the piano with the
nearest new or remanufactured equivalent in a market where these
pianos were hard to find. This is the value you would insure it for,
not a value you could sell it for.
(The nearest new equivalent would be a
)
- Current Market Value would be
between $
to $ .
This is what a private party might pay to purchase the piano in its
current condition. A more comprehensive inspection may reveal a higher or
lower value. Since
a R1.2 Inspection & Evaluation Report has not been submitted to us
by a qualified Piano Technician, I have assumed that the piano may
need some of the restoration itemized in Item 4 below to bring it up
to its full potential. If
that restoration has already been done to a Superior Standard, then
you can assume that the current market value would be somewhere
between what is suggested here and what is suggested in Item 4.
- Wholesale Value would be
between $
to $ .
This is what a dealer or rebuilder might pay to purchase the piano for
the purpose of resale. Some
wholesale buyers will add value to the piano by doing rebuilding
and/or refinishing.
- Value after reconditioning to
a Standard (on the Piano
Finders Superior Standard Scale of )
might be between $
to $ .
This piano would probably require between $
to $ .
of restoration to bring it into this condition. An inspection
by a qualified technician would be necessary to determine the amount
of work that might be required.
