I've bought NEW from TMR and they are a good company especially if you are in the market for used gear. I have some gear to sell but with them charging a 35% consignment fee there is no way I will sell that low. To each his own, I guess.

TMR does a good job. Very nice people and easy to talk to

TMR is a dealer for a number of premium brands. Anyone ever bought new and gotten a discount from them?

TMR is a class A outfit that would offer you a fair price for selling a used car to a used car dealer....don't go in expecting to get anywhere close to what you want for the sale from an ad.  I have gotten quotes from them and Paragon and they were more fair.

Since your concern is the IRS, I will also comment on that.  My understanding has been that as long as we use F&F or Zelle then we are immune to getting a 1099.  This is how I have operated the past couple years with several transactions buying and selling.  

Agreed.  I have used them.  Fair, honest, easy to deal with.  If you want to take the work and hassle out of selling used gear, they are a great option.  But their service comes with a significant cost.  If you are looking for maximum value and don't mind the effort to photograph, list, screen, deal with payment and ship, sell yourself. Sometimes the best choice depends on the individual piece of gear.
