I've always thought the idea that someone famous having owned something would be a factor in its value to be a bit of a cultural fetish. I don't get it, anyway.
As the current owner of the piano, I'll have to make some corrections to the info floating around.
The $10,000 price was the opening bid, not the asking price.
I got 2 bids, neither of which reached the reserve price.
It's still for sale at BillyJoelsPiano.com
Since I had no advertising money, I don't think the auction was an accurate assesment of the piano's worth. If not for the paragraph on Page Six of the NY Post, I don't think more than 100 people even knew about the auction. (and that appeared only hours before the end of the auction...)

that's 2 of us.
I would have thought it'd have found some takers.
Celebrity ain't what it used to be, eh?
