Piano Scam: Disklavier in Tennessee
By Gary Rasmussen

Thanks to Reg Smith for his posting yesterday about the "free"
Disklavier in Tennessee scam.

Since I know someone that would love the Disklavier, I responded to the
posting for my friend. The person that posted on the MMD did respond
confirming it was 'free', only pay the shipping. I have since emailed
them back a several times this past week offering to come pick it up.
(Tennessee is not that far from Ohio where I am).

I also asked to make arrangements to work with someone there for me to
look over the piano more closely to verify things before I made the trip
via video chat like Face Time. Not surprisingly, they have not responded.

Putting my experience on this with Reg's posting, I conclude that my
initial gut feel that this is questionable, was correct. As Jody notes,
be careful with _any_ Internet transaction, even something posted on
the MMD!
