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?

No reason to be perplexed/surprised.  It is their business model and they have been quite successful at it.  I have been treated respectfully every time I have bought/sold from them.  Each of my transactions have been seamless.

You already have a couple of posts explaining why people sell to them.  People buy from them to get the stuff they want with exceptional terms of service that include a return policy you wouldn't find from any other seller of used gear.  

"Every pre-owned product we offer carries a 30-day, satisfaction-guaranteed return policy unless stated otherwise in the product description.** Additionally, every pre-owned product purchased directly at www.tmraudio.com carries a 90-day warranty. During the 30-day return period, a return or exchange can be requested for any reason."
