I recently sold some nice bookshelf speakers to them. Their purchase price was negotiable and fair in the end. Sure, I took a bath vs MSRP, but I knew that'd be the case and they made some quick profit selling my speakers in their online store. Maybe I could've done better selling directly on this site, but I have no regrets. Capitalism FTW!
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?
