The Music Room is Slipping

Op so far buying is ok with me not cheap. Trade in and selling , I got offer some fair , some lower. I decided not to trade and sell. But I do like them.

Almost all new audio (my wordle starting word some days) gear takes a big ding when, like a car, you drive it off the lot. As it tends to last there’s an abundance of it. 

Our gear is precious to us but to resellers/ flippers it’s buy low, sell high. If it is a desirable rare item it will get a good price coming and gojng. Same as always. 
 
@nooshinjohn What item(s) were you offered little for?

Not so ironically when we buy we try to buy low and when we sell we try to sell high but lament othets/ stores for doing the same. 

tmr has done right by me on several transactions, big and small

they are a business and (partly) live off the spread between the purchase and sale of used gear

if you don’t like their bids and offers, then don’t engage

My experience is totally different. 
You should just sell yourself and see how that works.  
I am totally pleased with TMR

I have had good dealings with TMR, both purchases and trade ins. This whole hobby is overpriced for what you get. Used is the best way to go or direct from the manufacturer. The middle man will cost you a lot, new or used.

Sell on our own, I do thru USAM all the time. Another alternative selling or buying new/used with or without trades is echohifi.com. I’ve been dealing with them for decades. Inventory isn’t as big as TMR but they do carry some good stuff. If you live in the Portland area, go inn and listen to the gear before you buy
