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?

I buy and sell on my own and and from TMR, just depends. TMR has to make money to hold these items they bought and paid waiting to sell, check them out get ready to sell, then post in several places. Plus they give a 90 warranty and return policy. Something I was trying to sell recently lingered on for 2 weeks, with about a dozen people asking questions, and never heard back from any of them. So I had already had a deal set with TMR, when it did not sell after a few weeks, I fell back on TMR. They pay the shipping there. I lost a few hundred bucks, but got it out of here, and awaiting a deposit. |
If you have an item that is not generating the level of buyer interest you had hoped for, trading it in on something you want from TMR can help you off-load the gear you are having trouble selling while maybe getting a bit of a price break on whatever it is you are interested in buying from TMR. I have done this before. |
