Question

How much should these piano worth?

Answer 1

I'd have to agree with Jack's assessment of the situation.



Even with the age, the Henry F. Miller looks the most intriguing to me. It could be worth spending $50 to have an area technician give it a good look and determine its value. It is _very_ old, and if it hasn't been rebuilt in the past 25 years, would definitely need it by now.



I'm not a big fan of the Steinway-designed Essex. Although it is probably better than most instruments coming out of China. (Currently built by Pearl River Group, earlier models were built in Korea by Young Chang).

Answer 2

Actually, to edit what the other person said, it IS negotiable about what would be a good price to pay for a piano. There is NO set price, because there are a variety of pianos in different conditions and different people willing to pay different amounts of money.



For any used pianos, don't expect more than several thousand. Most people wouldn't even pay that much for a used piano. But your piano prices seem reasonably based on the information you have given us.



Baldwins used usually can sell for over a thousand, Steinway and sons can sell for at least three thousand used, and other generic brands usually can sell for at least a thousand.



Best regards.

Answer 3

First of all let me say that there is really no set price for used pianos. It will always come down to how much you are willing to pay and how much the seller will take for it. It is all negotiable.



The Henry Miller is way over priced. Just in the condition you described I would say $0 to $100,



The Hamilton was made when Gibson bought the company after Baldwin declared bankruptcy. Just a piano, nothing special.



The Essex seems to be the most desirable of the three. Although personally I would not own a piano made in China. Remember everything is negotiable, offer less. If you are dealing with a private individual you have a good chance of getting it cheaper. If you are dealing with a piano store remember all piano salesmen were used car salesmen in a previous life.
