I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....

TMR does a nice job and I've had fine experiences with them but they aren't the only game in town. If you live on the East Coast there are other options. Holt Hill Audio just North of Boston is a super reputable business and their shop (old mill) is like non-other. I go between both HH and TMR and I decide based on whoever offers me a better deal on any particular day. Nice to have choices and these two businesses are top shelf in my book. Just my opinion.

I've had only positive experience with TMR as buyer and seller...while some items I could maybe get more selling myself, other items they are much better at selling as some prefer to buy used from a store...and not only is the shipping label great,  no issues with shipping costs, also no issues with the occasional difficult buyer...definitely all well worth it to me...just make a single phone call and all is  done...

Are we really taking a magnifying glass to some marketing slogan, in this case TMR?  There seems to be no bait and switch, or deception.  

I have conducted several transactions with TMR this year and have had a great experience. While I understand I may not get the price for my item I would if I made a private, direct sale to a buyer, I avoided most of the hassles of those types of sales. It was worth it to me and I would trust TMR if I buy gear from them which I intend to do from time to time after having been so impressed by selling to them. 

And no reply from the OP as yet? My international experience with TMR has always been very professional great communication and have bought and sold through them with out issue.
