DELICATE LACE WOOD CARVING-COLLECTOR'S DREAM! AMAZING! Item number: 120274654807 on Ebay

Would love feedback from members on my price. I paid much more than my listing price,but didn't know the true value. I had just fallen in love with it and paid the antique dealers price,now would love to know,so that I am sure that I sell it for a fair price,thanks. Also,would love to know how to get the Ebay listing on this site,like those at the top of the page.

Here is the info on Ebay...

This is the most beautiful piano,that I have EVER seen! It is amazing,

the detailed carving is so delicate that it looks like lace! You will just

LOVE it! It would be a centerpiece in a home,such a conversation

piece! It is at least 135 years old according to a piano specialist. It

is a Kirkman piano,handmade between 1872 and 1874...amazing and

definitely a unique piece of furniture! Once you see it,your standards

will be forever changed! It is an unbelievable example of

workmanship. It is truly a priceless heirloom,they don't make them

like this anymore... I have a good reputation,please see my ratings!

I will work with your piano movers,if you are having it moved locally

or across the nation. I just want it to find a good home.  I have

shipped items by USHIP.com and have gotten very reasonable

bids from them and have liked the movers that I used from them. You

are responsible for mover,although you will want to have them call

me to arrange the exact time of pickup. Good luck bidding,hope you

win it,you will LOVE it!

This is an opportunity for someone to own an exquisite antique upright grand piano. The case of this piano is rosewood and the color is rich and deep with pronounced graining throughout. One rarely sees lovely cases like this these days. This is an heirloom quality piano that anyone would be proud to own.  The wood carving on the music rack as well as the front of the piano is elaborately done which truly makes this an elegant and special piano. More elaborate carvings also appear on the piano's legs. The red contrasting cloth behind the carving may be removed and replaced to match any home's color scheme and decor. This lovely piano was manufactured by Kirkman and Son at 3 Soho Square, London. The dealer was J. D. Cuthbertson, 43 Annette St., Glasgow. Even if you do not play the piano, this piece is lovely enough to just admire. It's a great find for the Victorian furniture lover who appreciates elegance and old world charm. Don't miss this chance to grab this collector's piano! It will only increase in value!

PLEASE DO FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH QUESTIONS! I sold this piano previously and it auctioned off for $2,000 with a short listing time. The buyer,unfortunately,had some problems and was unable to get the piano. I have seen a similar piano sell for $4,000 on the internet. I am sad to let go of this piano,but actually have 2 other pianos and need the space due to upcoming renovation. I was actually going to have this piano made into a piano bar. A company here in Atlanta converts them,really great idea for people,who don't really play,but love the look of a piano! I can send you additional photos,photos shown are stock photos,but can take as many as you like. Also,would love it,if you would have your own piano restorer inspect the piano before bidding. I am pretty flexible on meeting them and want you to feel comfortable with your purchase. This piano has not been restored,but is in nice condition from what I can tell. Again,please feel free to contact a piano restorer for inspection prior to bidding. Thanks so much,I think you will LOVE it!

Nice Piano - I have no idea what it is worth. (Here's the link to her piano listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120274654807&ru=http://search.ebay.com:80/120274654807_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40QQfviZ1 )
If I were selling it on ebay or anywhere, I'd put more and better pictures w/ the listing showing the sides, top bottom and close ups. Most people making a major investment want to have a good idea of what they are buying. Good pictures in a listing can help sell it.
It's ironic that I saw a music holder on ebay +/- a month ago I liked the design of (I think it was +/- $130.00 - didn't sell) that didn't mention where it came from (I thought it was made as a freestanding music holder) - but once I saw yours, I see it came off one just like it. I've pictured it below.
