The Music Room is Slipping

I’ve never used TMR.

Some of their listings I've seen look to be around private seller pricing.

I have some electronics I recently took to a reseller.

They offered me 7% of what I think they would sell

for in their store. I told them I’d pass on it.

I’ll sell them myself.

I don't hold it against them. I got a really good deal on an item there.

They have to pay for their retail space, employee labor, the electric bill, etc.

Probably makes sense to buy but not sell to them.

If I’m getting good deals there, it’s an unrealistic expectation to get a good trade in value. 

They have an Audio Research amp that seems to be priced ok.

They also have a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Sig speakers for $700. That’s craigslist pricing. 

A customer showed me this thread and said TMR is selling a CS Port IME-1 for $1249 but the strange thing is they say it has a retail of $2500! We sell then NIB for just over their price and the retail is only $1850. Someone didn't do their research.

Did a quick search, TMR lists it at $1249 and know where in their hype do they say $2500. Looking at other vendors sites TMR is undercutting them significantly.

@faustuss from their site:

Age: Unknown

# of Owners: 1

Tobacco Exposure: No

Service History: None

MSRP: $2500

I like TMR. I’ve bought and sold there. My only complaint is that on many of their listed items, they state that the age is unknown, when you know very well that they didn’t buy and inspect it without a very good idea of how old it was. I wouldn’t consider offering to buy if the age is truly unknown. YMMV.
