A non-working player mechanism actually can make it a deficit. Few people are interested in managing the repair costs and the additional weight that comes with a non-working player piano.
As with most things, what you need is that special buyer who sees your piano as a diamond in the rough. If you live near a major metropolitan area, you are more likely to get such a person.
If you're considering selling it, it's probably worthwhile to have it tuned. Tuners frequently have their ears to the ground for persons who are searching for pianos. If you can afford $40-100 to have it brought into tune with itself, also ask the tuner if he knows of someone who is interested in restoring player pianos who might like to buy it.
You can also put a free ad on "CraigsList.org" for your geographical area and see if you can find a player piano aficionado who would be willing to take a look at your instrument.

What type of piano player? Bach, Mozart? Or Alicia Keys, Amy Lee (from Evanescence), or the many other various artists out there like the guy from Timbaland, Sara Bareillas, etc.
