It totally depends on how much work it needs. I read that if the player mechanism hasn't worked for over 20 years then it can cost over $5000 to get it back in good working condition. I've seen a number of online listings of people wanting to unload 'perfectly restored' player pianos for around $2000, some for $5000.

from an eBay guide:

"The value of a player piano is based almost entirely on its condition. However, the only way to determine its actual condition is to have it professionally evaluated by a player piano technician. A thorough evaluation typically costs $85-$125 depending on where you live."

Dang, that's alot :) I'm 14 too <3 Here are mines.. - A day Disneyland ticket - A new Tennis Racquet - Forever21, Wetseal, OR Ulta Gift Card - A new purse/handbag (since the one I'm having right now ripped D: ) - Pink Bed (as in...Bedsheets, pillowcase, bed comforter) - Jewelries and Accessories at Forever21 - A make-up set - Concert ticket to Taylor Swift or anything people give me other than the things above would be fine :)

Como me gusta la música y tengo algunas nociones, se apreciar la excelente oferta de sitios web, aunque ha sido muy difícil a la hora de elegir uno, a su llegado, he sabido que he elegido lo mejor. Un precio excelente para un excelente instrumento ha hecho que esta compra sea una perfecta.

There is one on ebay from 1916 which they want $6,500.00 for. That might give you a general idea.
