Selling my 2010 Kawai K2 (ebony polished). Need help!
on: October 26, 2011, 10:44:44 PM
Hi all. I'm new to this forum and I need help. I live in Nassau County in long Island. I have a Kawai K2 that was purchased about 1 1/2 yrs ago and has barely ever been played. The plastic is still on the pedals. It is in amazing condition. It was bought at Frank & Camille's East in Long Island. There is 8 1/2 yrs left on a 10 yr transferable warranty. The problem is I am moving to Florida, and I cannot bring it with me. It cost us over $5400 after tax a year and a half ago. I am asking $3500 but I will listen to all reasonable offers.
The problem is That I have no clue how to sell it, nor do I know too much about pianos. Because of this I would rather find someone in my area, because I do not feel comfortable being responsible for shipping. I would consider it though if it was done the right way. Is anyone interestested in this piano? Or could someone please possibly suggest some good ways I may go about trying to sell it? I would really appreciate some suggestions from people who know more than I do.
If you do have any interest, leave your email, and I will get in touch with you.
Thanks everyone.

Selling a piano is difficult.
A dealer could get $3500 for that piano.
It's not likely you'll get that much.

You can put it in an advertisment.

I think your asking price is fair for a piano that new. List in
www.pianomart.com
for a percentage fee. A dealer could sell it on consignment. Maybe even Frank and Camilles (who I'm familiar with). They will probably get around 4k and take 25% for the sale. That piano has probably gone up 5% since you bought it so may look more attractive to a shopper.

Thanks all for your advice. In Long Island it is hard to get a K2 for anything less then 4,000 before tax and possibly delivery. I am not hard up on that price but in speaking with People who are in the industry and know more then I do I should get somewhere between $3000-$3500. I do appreciate all of your feedback, and any that may come in the future.

As a matter of fact, we hold our Nassau County chapter PTG meetings at Frank and Camilles.
