I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....


TMR has become a significant player in used high end gear. Their pitch is "we pay you top dollar hassle free for your used gear" . 

OK, what's their idea of top dollar? It's 25% to 30% of MSRP minus more $ for blemishes that lower value. I know. I called them. 

The same sellers who list their used gear for 30 or 40% under MSRP and refuse legitimate offers from qualified buyers with proven buying or selling history who offer 1/2 or so of retail are roundly ignored or even insulted. Weeks later the same item shows up at TMR at 50% of retail and you know TMR paid half of that for it. 

What makes sellers do such a crazy thing?

Hey saugertiesbob,

I own a pair of those really fine B&W subs and paid my excellent dealer 10% off of retail. My system is low six figures, most bought at high discount.

The room compensation software is world class and those subs may be the highest quality product they sell.  

Worried about B&W going out of business?  They are one of the largest, longest lasting companies in the industry.  Doubt that you own anything from a more stable company.  

Good listening...
