Ensuring Good Second Hand Piano Sales Norman OK

By Janet Murray


The piano is a grand instrument that comes in different shapes and sizes. There are small ones that are mainly used by kids and teenagers for practice purposes. Professional pianists who play for a living as well as for private recreation purposes use bigger ones. However selling is not as easy as purchasing a new one. This is because there are many considerations looked at for piano sales Norman OK. This is more so complicated by the hard economic times experienced in the world. Previous immune countries like the Asian block where many of these instruments are made are also experiencing hard times.

There are many reasons that cause people to sell their pianos. This may be because one wants to buy something new, upgrade to a better one, sell an inherited instrument or want to sell due to the hard economic times. For whatever reason, second hand sales are increasingly gaining popularity in Norman, OK, because of the reduced prices and their good condition.

Sale is done in two main ways. The owner might decide to get a good dealer that can connect them with several buyers with the potential, desire and ability to purchase them. The sad fact is that, many dealers act as middlemen. They seek to get high profit from the sale and leave the owner with significantly reduced sale price. This is undesirable and very unprofitable. The good thing about this is that urgent sales are done quickly.

The owner may also decide to market the instrument personally. This is especially welcomed if they are not in any major hurry to sell. This is a good way to retain all the proceeds from the sale as well as the profits. Make sure to find the market value. They then assign their price after factoring all costs. Note that prices of new ones are subject to market forces of supply and demand.

Make sure that the period, which you want to sell the piano, does not coincide with increased market supply. This influx is mostly experienced from Asian countries that carry out large-scale manufacture. Increased supply means that market prices will be low while low supply means that prices shoot up. Targeting low seasons is hence very important for large profits.

There are numerous ways of making sure that these sales are high. The keyboard should be in top condition. It key sounds should be ok at both soft and loud volume. They should also be in tune. Silent and muted keys should be replaced. Stained, yellowed, chipped and broken keys reduce value as does wrong alignment with some uneven keys.

Look at the pedals to ensure that they are in good conditions. They should not be rusted, sticky or limp. If any of these flaws arise, repair them first before putting it on the market. Additionally, look at the wood finish. It should be cracked, warped or damaged.

The legs should be sturdy. Wobbling and uneven legs are very hazardous to all the people around it as well as the person playing. Furthermore, they can cause great damage to the instrument if they give in to its weight and fall. Tighten all screws or replace the legs if need be.
