The Music Room is Slipping


I cannot recommend doing business with them any longer. They DEEPLY lowball you when you sell them gear and then forget all about the mass profits they made on you when you are looking to buy something from them, They offer to stand behind a purchase, yes... but the reality is that it is all about max profits on used gear and lack of any sort of support or consideration going forward. They are nothing more than a pawnshop for audio gear and I am done with them.

i gotta say that josh's (tmr) post was well-founded and persuasive. it's a tough balance to strike between being exploitative and being profit-driven; unlike some others i could name tmr probably does it as well as any of its competitors. bear in mind, too, that we're talking about affluent consumers buying and selling pure luxury items--these are not the folks who really need to extract the best possible deal.

I wonder how many people writing in are in the Music Room Network, also considering they pay less then 40 percent of list price that is why they don't want to pay more for used equipment, there are much better places to buy from. 

It seems so simple. They tell you upfront what they will pay for an item to want to sell, or how much they will sell an item you want to buy for. And you decide if the service they provide makes it worth it. 

I've often used their services and have been quite pleased. Though sometimes I decide to sell myself or buy elsewhere. It's hard to imagine they would not buy an unusual item if their research showed there was a decent market for it.
