    I do metal paper electronic computers for free as the Metallic maniac.



    A piano is wood. Can not drop at a yard. Moving and loading by myself is not easy. The demo.process takes time. A 4 hr or more job. It's not metal it's wood. ..

    Actually, the moving and loading of a piano by one person is a fairly easy endeavor (without stairs being involved, of course), the money is in the wood if you are going to deconstruct a piano. An average upright might yield 200 lbs of dirty cast iron, but if you look into selling the wood to a network of luthiers, you can hit twenty times that value in selling the wood. Somewhat time intensive, I do not spend my time on items like this any longer as I have higher profit-margin items that I deal with regularly.
