always been happy selling to TMR...

I sold them some 20+year-old stuff (Meridian and Classe). The process was very easy - they send you a FedEx label and all you have to do is pack it up safely. I was very happy with the process.

I thought the prices they offered were fair. Yes, you will be offered a wholesale price and you will certainly make more selling it on your own.

You are giving up some profit in exchange for not going through the hassle of selling. What is that worth to you? I can save money by mowing my own lawn, but I pay someone else to do it because I have better things to do with my time.

An amp I was looking at had been sold and returned 5 or 6 times according to hifishark, listed as one owner, but the unit's seen more shake than dolly partons bra. 

I've sold quite few pieces through TMR and have been perfectly satisfied. One option they offer is consignment sale - it can be worthwhile if if you're in no hurry for your cash.

They are usually very nice people to deal with but you will get a very low offer if you sell direct to them. As you state, they need to make a profit.

Sure, it reduces the hassle of selling, saves you the stress of your tax concerns, and they handle all the shipping of the item(s) to them.

But you lose significant value as opposed to what you could sell for online here or elsewhere.

What have you got to lose? Send them the info and photos of what you want to sell and see what they offer. In my experience, the low price was not worth the loss of $$ in my pocket.
