Hey,

After years of procrastination on a whim i started scouring the donate section of ebay kleinanzeigen which is craigslist but people just give away their stuff for free. I just hit the
jackpot, somebody will donate me a cembalo from the 70s!! And i got a hold of 70s adidas shoes and trainsets.

The thing is, i am way over my head when it comes to selling that cembalo. The price range online are 900 Euro to 6000. I am also in a desperate position because
I might be able to store it in my room, but I really dont have the space. So I have a lot of questions regarding reselling this to a pianostore who buy used musicinstruments:

- How do i avoid getting screwed over?
- How much do I have to discount from my ideal price, because they will refurbish it, to sell it for a profit?
- I am not a musician, so if they spot all the flaws, how do i stop them from reducing the asked price or the price we previously agreed upon?
- How do I improve my position, i basically gotta bring that straight to the piano dealer after i picked it up.
- Is there a negotation 101, some quick pointers because i wont be able to read up on negotiation until saturday and then put all that advice into action.


Thank you for your help,

Rammsteinfanboy
