Douglas@rustoleumlove @ai6yr there is a huge cost of ownership with grand pianos. Often times when someone dies it's easier to give it away than get it repaired to sell.
My mother is going through this with her father's baby grand. It needs a few grand (haha!) of work and then it'll be worth $10-15k to the right buyer but it'll have to go on consignment at the regional piano emporium possibly for years until that buyer arrives.
Plus the cost of transport is very high.
