You say "The same sellers who list their used gear for 30 or 40% under MSRP and refuse legitimate offers from qualified buyers" these legitimate offers are very often insultingly low offers and I get tired of it and I always list my equipment at a reasonable price. I won't give low ball offers because I don't want to insult anyone but boy it sure seems like most offers are and that's what makes selling to someone like TMR so tempting. I've sold to them and I've bought from them,they are very easy to deal with
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?
