I wonder if you couldn't sell it more easily for twice as much? But you would certainly know what the going rate is.... It's just hard to believe something SO beautiful would be THAT inexpensive.
Hmmm, possibly but only by implying inherent value. Really. Actual value for a none, or barely playing, reed organ is about $200. The cost of restoration, at $1200, exceeds the value of resale but is how I arrived at a sale price.
That is beautiful and I was thinking the same as 'elizabeth' Thought you could sell it for more.
Why don't you try to sell it at for £1600, then if you are forced to sell it for less you haven't lost anything, have you?
Okay, so maybe I should aim higher? How about $1500? You all do understand that this is a very limited market don't you?
I think I may stick with the $1400.
