Piano Recycling

I don't know of anyone that would pay $200 to get rid of a piano when they can list it on craigslist for free and it'll be gone in a day or so.

Well, I do. I haul several pianos per month, charging $200 for garage pickup, and $350 if they're in the basement. It's all in how you present the services. Also, in my experience most people offering free pianos sit on them for months.

I agree with burly. You might be able to get rid of a good working one that is in tune but, if you have a piano that is in bad shape and out of tune $200 should be the going rate to haul it away. Most of the time the pianos for free just need to get hauled to the dump. I found a silver dime in an older upright piano one time.

Burly even plays piano while he's moving pianos, too...
