That looks like what you find in a lot of public schools.  At least from what I've seen. 

Could be ok, but only ok.  Could be garbage too.  You'd have to try it out a little to see.  Or have a piano tech look at it -- There might be problems such as not being able to hold a tuning.

Some people give pianos like that away for free.  $15 isn't that much.  It's going to cost several times that to get it tuned though.  And you'd have to move it -- That's usually what people want who I see giving away pianos.  They just want someone to move it.

If it's for a beginner and the piano is in decent shape, it might be ok.  It's basically nothing for the price -- If they would deliver it for you, that would be a plus.

I didn't study the ad out much.  I just saw a Wurlitzer piano there.

I wouldn't too sad if I didn't have that piano though either.  A beginner could start out on one, but they could also start out on something better.

Stuff like this is given away for free a lot.  Check your local craigslist. 

A good place to start is to play several uprights to get an idea of what is available.  Go into a piano store and try them out - including the ones which you cannot afford.  You will gain some knowledge on what you like and do not like in a piano.  Use these characteristics when searching for one to bring home.
