The Music Room is Slipping

I’ve only had recent dealings with TMR - both in selling and purchasing. Although, on the selling side, they weren’t able to offer me anything for my old system. We entered into an honest, and transparent discourse, which subsequently left me understanding their position completely. I ultimately decided to sell a four box system privately, and moved it all within a week. So all good really!

On the buying side, I purchased a high-end PSU for my current system, and couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience. The lady who assisted me from start to finish, was thoroughly impressive. The component was shipped out swiftly, and packaged expertly. I was more than happy with the whole process.

By the conclusion, I genuinely felt TMR were straight-shooters, and I would definitely use them again in the future.

TMR is a business, not a public service. They are totally upfront about what hey will pay for gear, or what they will sell it for. They stand by their offers and offer great service. If the price isn't right for you, there are plenty of other ways to buy and sell. I find the older I get, the more I appreciate their services...

We should start a couple threads

”what TMR offered me for my preamp”

”what TMR offered me for my amolifier

etc…

should kept very clean, only the object name, price they offered and what they offered of buying a certain item from them

It's no longer your gear, it belongs to them. They can put a price of  $1,000,000 on it or take it out in a field and burn it, not your business or concern. Yet, somehow you feel since they made a tidy profit selling it they somehow 'owe' you something if you do business with them again. Pretty silly to expect that.

This is exactly right. 

This ain't rocket science. 

1. Go to hifishark and use the filters for where you're selling; search your gear.

2. Look at current prices paid for your gear and look at recent "Expired" sales. Set outliers aside (fire sales) and average the other numbers. That's what you *might* get on the open market.

3. Look at TMR's offer. It will be lower. Often much lower. Sit with the difference and then make a choice.

4. Don't look back.

It ain't hard.
