Sell your piano: three choices 

There are 3 ways you can sell your piano: 
 
PRIVATELY TO A FRIEND OR RELATIVE 
VIA ONLINE AUCTION AND SALES SITES 
TO A RECOGNISED PIANO SHOP 

Each of these methods has its strengths: 

A private or auction sale can be a good choice if you aren’t in a big hurry to sell your piano and don’t mind investing a little bit to put the instrument in top shape. You maybe rewarded with the highest sale price.Just so you know, a private or auction sale may not necessarily generate a better price. Not only do you have to take into consideration the cost of advertising your instrument in a way that it reaches the right audience, but you may have to pay for delivery costs too.You’ll also have to arrange home visits by potential buyers, which can be inconvenient especially if you work full time. Even selling your piano on an internet auction site will incur additional costs.You also need to remember that it could be a long time before the perfect buyer comes along. 

Benefits of selling your piano to Suffolk Pianos 

If you need to sell the piano immediately selling the piano to a piano shop like Suffolk Pianos may be your best option. This can be a good choice if you don’t have time or don’t want to hassle with fixing up the piano and having people through your home looking at the instrument. While many stores work on a percentage basis, there are some like me who will let you know up front what they would give you for your piano.We have the advantage of having a large showroom and storage facilities to store our pianos – so we can keep them for a very long time if they do not sell.
