The Music Room


With all the talk about PayPal and the IRS, I'm considering other ways to sell my unused gear. I've been thinking about The Music Room. I have the system I want and have no need for trade ins. Has anyone else sold items to The Music Room? How was your experience? Did they give you a decent price for your gear (I understand they need to make a profit too). I just don't want any complications come tax season next year...

Looks like payments via Zelle require a lot of trust because there's no buyer recourse if things go sideways. Probably not much recourse for the seller either. And Stripe declares you're a business (which I'm not). Maybe I'll dig through my records and find receipts to the items I want to sell. That way if IRS wants me to itemize, I can show I either incurred a loss, or the profit was quite small. If I can't find a receipt then I'll see what TMR will offer.

I have receipts, I just have to figure out where they are. From now on I'll be more organized. @allenf1963 Here's a list of the gear:
