Crap... so the piano's probably extremely old.... it looks much much newer... how much would you say it's worth? Also I read somewhere that uprights are good for 80 years.... so this one's probably past it's due date oO?

All depends on the size. Small uprights go between 300 and 400 pounds and large ones could go 500 to 800. By the pics it looked taken care of but I would have a tech look at it. Looks can be deceiving.
Like buying a house. Have it inspected by a pro to evaluate what it needs.

Musically, Jimbo

A 52” upright would be around 650-700lbs. A 54” upright would be a little more, 750-800lbs. 1925 was the year of build for this one. With the purchase of any instrument do what Jim advises; have a local technician inspect this for present mechanical condition and then local market value.

If you think it's is expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
