What is a good price for a upright paino in mint condition that's about 6yrs old?

Brand is the primary factor.... but I would say that a used piano would depreciate 25-50% within 6 years... but if it's in absolutely mint condition and is a very good brand (Steinway, for example) then it might not depreciate as much. if its a more consumer-oriented brand like Baldwin, it probably has lost a lot of value. If you are looking to buy, look at a lot of places online and off to compare, and don't overlook digital. "Real" pianos are a b-yotch to move and will annoy the neighbors! If you are selling, compare as well, but keep in mind moving costs. You might be able to sell to a store outright or on consignment.
Good Luck!

The price of a piano depends on a number of factors. Be sure to feel the action of the keys, how worn the piano is, if the bench matches it, and if it needs tuned, revarnished, or any other periodic mantinance. You should also look for warping, scratches, and general wear and tear. Even then, the price can vary. We bought ours at an auction on a rainy day for a buck, but others can go for $300, $1000, or more. The important thing is how you feel about the piano you choose.

Impossible to tell without more info. Anywhere from $1000 to $20,000 or more for a unique, high quality instrument.
