TMR seem to offer the seller a fraction of what in many cases the seller could get with some judicious marketing. Sometimes the piece up for sale is not going to be that easy to sell, but not always. I would think that a little market research on the typical price garnered and the time it took to sell would benefit anyone before committing to TMR. The ease of sale via TMR is a factor for many, but at what cost??
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?
