I'm reviving this thread because the subject of bargaining came up again. A friend of mine (who has more spending money that I do) is planning to buy an upright or baby grand Yamaha piano from a retail piano store. I asked him if he was going to haggle over the price, and he said he didn't know whether he could at that kind of store.
To me it seemed a lot like a furniture store, so I'd assume you can bargain as I've done in furniture stores, but I realize I don't know anything specific about the piano business.
Does anyone know how much they typically mark pianos up at retail piano stores? It would be nice to know if my friend has much leeway to get the price down.
