Steveymo,
They are listed on the other forum where there is no cost to list gear. ;-).
Aewarren, you are correct with that statement. There is a price at which they will sell and I certainly with join a vast group of audiophiles who experience buttdarts when they part with gear.
I have transacted with TMR in the past on the buy side so I will certainly follow your suggestion and contact them. The hell of it that is will cost me at least a grand to get them shipped there on pallets with their wood crates, heavy as coffins, but maybe they can help on the shipping end. I see no alternative to local or regional sales.
I thank you all for responding with alternatives and encouragement. As I note above, as I am inclined to swap gear from time to time and with future audio purchases, I will take into consideration the likelihood of my ability to recapture a larger share of the retail price when I got to sell. Spending ~$9K on speakers less than 2 years ago with no ability to recover close to 50% of my original expense on pristine gear has been a real eye-opener for me and my pocketbook... I am not that affluent. Cheers and thanks again for the comments. Mark
Oh, a final thought. I have used Pirate Ship and Shippo to ship gear and they are routinely nearly half the price of direct shipping with FEDEX, UPS, and USPS. I encourage you to see if they might be right for your shipping needs. The retail cost of shipping queers a lot of potential transactions. However, neither company will deal with gear like my speakers that can only be shipped on a pallet.
