Seek Suggestion to Buy a used Yamaha U1 #10673 10/09/07 03:39 PM

OP JulieLovePiano Junior Member Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 1 Sacramento, CA	Hello, I am new to piano and try to buy a used one for my kid to learn. Can you please help me here? I identified two used piano in Sacramento areas. One is Nippon Gakki Yamaha No. U1 with a series number 507508. However, I could not find out how old it is. The seller bought it (used) from a piano store five years ago. The other one is Yamaha U1E with a series number 4491460. This seller said he was the first owner. Both of them asked for $3,000. Which one is better if they are in good looking condition? What is a reasonable price for a used 20 years old Yamaha U1? Thanks, Julie
