[Kitterer Bob]

My last years in high school I worked part time in a piano store.  The  
owner bought used piano's in addition to having new ones.  He added up  
his cost to acquire the used piano, how much he spent getting it on  
the floor (me) plus $50 to arrive at the selling price.  He bought  
this really ugly looking upright piano for a very low price. It turned  
out that it cleaned up in no time and other than a lot of cleaning did  
not need any parts plus it was a great sounding piano.  It sit on the  
floor for weeks, people would look at it, play it and then walk away.   
One Saturday morning he was really annoyed that the piano was still  
there, went in the back room a got a Sale sign, added $200 to the  
price an it was gone by noon.
