I just sold a piece of gear through TMR and found it to be a very satisfactory process. The equipment sold quickly and this is one way to insulate yourself from having to deal with after the sale issues. It comes at a price, of course, because the TMR commission is pretty stiff. TMR provides a good service, however, and for me it’s worth it, for others maybe not. But it is a way to eliminate the buyer issues that OP is concerned about
Has anyone sold over $35k worth of equipment over the net? How do you protect yourself?
I currently own a Moon 861 amp. I am considering buying a Moon 891 preamp/streamer. Sometimes, I get a bit nervous owning this much in gear. If I ever wanted to sell it, we are talking about $35k payment through paypal or a like service. I read where a buyer could dispute the transaction with their bank even if they bought it through paypal (or zelle) and the seller would lose the money.
Has anyone else sold this much in gear before over the net? How do you handle this kind of risk?
