TMR makes it easy. Some of us are willing to pay more for easy. And quick. And anonymous. And no strings attached. Never got top dollar, but never had it easier. Same as in real estate or any other market.
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?
