Avoid being a victim to CraigsList fraud, and armed robberies for Yamaha piano prices! It is so easy to post an ad on CraigsList, for they do not require any real form 
of verification. You have no idea who you are meeting, their credentials (if they have any), or what kind of situation you are putting yourself into. Is saving a buck really worth your life and your safety? Ebay is a little better, but still you don’t really know what you’re getting. So many piano buyers have posted their reviews about buying a used piano from ebay; and not one of them is in a playable condition.
You should also be aware of buying a piano from an unregistered dealer. Usually they're Yamaha piano prices are cheaper than normal because the piano is inadequate in performance and workmanship. Some piano technicians will refurbish pianos in their home, but they are not allowed to sell pianos from their homes by law unless they have council approval. A dealer with a large workmanship has the capacity to do a correct refurbish on an older style piano.
You can tell a good dealer when they show you a commitment from their showroom. A reputable dealer will not risk their reputation by selling you a damaged or unplayable piano. Dealers also provide you with a warranty with your used or new piano which covers the work done to a piano.
A dealer/retailer with a piano workshop can suggest New and used piano prices. They can also answer any questions you have regarding a specific model or whatever piano has your greatest interest.
Shopping around is not always the best idea when purchasing a piano. Dealers and technicians, who have their own agenda, promote their best needs instead of yours.
Just save yourself a lot of time and money and go to a dedicated licensed piano specialist who knows about pianos. Saving a dollar can actually cost you more by not buying a piano from a dealership.
You have to actually play a piano to determine the range of playability. You can’t actually play a piano or even really get a look at it from the internet.

How many times in your life will you buy a baby grand piano? Unless you're a music teacher or professional musician, you will probably only buy a grand 
piano once. Because this is a major once in a lifetime transaction, you should make sure you make your purchase with peace of mind, not fear or anxiety.
Price might be a primary concern for many buyers. After all, quality pianos are not inexpensive. Many private sellers like you might find on Craigslist or eBay probably offer pianos for sale at what seem like a great price. But you must consider a couple of factors before jumping at the lowest priced baby grand piano you can find online or in the classified ads.
First, consider your own safety. Who, exactly, are you dealing with via an online piano seller? Just because someone says he's a piano dealer doesn't mean he actually is or that there is actually a piano for sale. You can be whoever you want to be online! It seems every day, there is yet another news story about Craigslist fraud, scams or theft. Take care not to put yourself in a dangerous situation just because someone is offering a low, low price on a baby grand piano.
Secondly, consider the quality of the product. Used pianos vary considerably in quality. A reputable piano dealer who has been in business for decades can provide a substantial warranty, money-back guarantee and assurances of the quality of the piano you buy. A fly-by-night garage dealer or private seller 
simply can't offer the same peace of mind as an established piano dealer.
You shouldn't put yourself or your family in jeopardy to get what seems like a good deal on a piano. Online sellers may turn out to be thieves looking to scam money from you or — God forbid — worse. You also shouldn't take risks with this sizable monetary investment. Since you may only buy a baby grand piano once, you want to get your money's worth. A used piano from someone looking to make a quick buck won't last and you'll spend more money in the long run.
Make your baby grand piano purchase with peace of mind. Choose a locally owned, reputable piano dealer with deep roots in the community and with a safe location you can visit without fear. Turn what could be a disastrous purchase into a celebration by choosing the right piano dealer.
