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?

Have you ever bought a sold a car from a dealer?

How do you think business works? Is the reseller supposed to give you something near what you paid with just a little shaved off because your amp or streamer or turntable is so exquisite for having been owned by you? And what do they do when they have to sell it?

Take your eyes off of the navel.
