Old Cars For Sale

Do you think my parents are insane?

Today, i was in the car with my mom and dad and we passed by a yard sale. In the yard sale they were selling a grand piano. The Man selling the stuff said the piano was over 75 years old. It looked Extremely vintage and beautiful. All the keys were out of tune but that's fixable. The price of the Piano was $150.00. I'm not kidding. $150.00 . This is the part that forces me to believe my parents are absolutley insane. They said NO. NO. A beautiful vintage grand piano for 150.00 dollars. and they said NO. I cried for hours. Do you also think there insane or am i overreacting. The piano looked something like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/Walters-Piano-Company-1918-Cabinet-Grand-Player-Piano_W0QQitemZ160324975707QQcmdZViewItemQQptZKeyboards_MIDI?hash=item160324975707&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A3%7C294%3A50 and check the price too! >.< Music is my dreams and keyboard just isn't the same.

1. Hm... xP! Maybe they can't afford it.. <3 I would suggest asking them if you could help them out by paying half of it..*first earn some money though!*
2. maybe they have their own reaons? idk...parents are just weird sometimes.
3. They're not crazy, just reasonable. It may only be $150 now, but it'll cost money for them to move it back to your home. And depending on what shape the keys and inside workings are in, it could cost too much to get it back in shape. It might be so far gone, that fixing it wouldn't be worth it. And you'd only find that out AFTER lugging it home and then you'd be stuck with a piece of junk now. (The guy selling it probably knows that and that's why he's trying to get rid of it.) If you really want a piano, try searching for a used one that somebody is trying to sell and bring along somebody who can play it for you while you're checking it out. Some piano stores sell good used pianos for the same or less amount that the $150 one would have eventually wound up costing after getting fixed.
4. Mayby the piano had a odor of farts.
