The Music Room is Slipping

Personally I have bought and sold with TMR a handful of times. I am glad to have them in this hobby. I feel more confident buying from TMR as product is checked over by someone who actually knows a thing or two... Much less a chancy feeling than when I’ve bought from an individual either here or on USAM. I like that TMR has a good description, great pics, specs, and oftentimes a review or two. 

My most recent buy was a new to me Luxman 550AXII and it is brilliant!

You'll note the OP has been absent for over a month.

Must still be chewing on those sour grapes...

Nope, still here. Sometimes it is best to sit back and remain silent and perhaps learn a thing or two. 

And what did you learn?

"And what did you learn?"

It's been days! Indicative of the OP's lack of sincerity.

i recently contacted them about a pair of speakers I have. Figured they would sell for around $12k. They offered me a consignment deal in which in which I would make $8k on a $12k sale. $4k profit to sell my speakers was not acceptable. 

I remained patient and was able to sell them for $11,900 on my own. Took 6 months but well worth the extra money in my pocket.

Recent experiences with them have resulted in no deals due to the high profits they are seeking. Buying from them is probably fine. 

$4k profit to sell my speakers was not acceptable. 

$4K profit? WOW!

You think TMR operates on zero overhead costs?

 6 months.... How many Tire Kickers did you deal with? Any Low ballers? How much time do you think you spent dealing with potential buyers? Time is money if you are running a business. 

How did the buyer pay you? PayPal, Credit Card?

Were the speakers shipped to the buyer?  I assume all went well and the buyer was a happy camper. What IF...

To stay in business a retail store has to have more money coming in the door than going out the door. Profit is the bottom line after all overhead costs have been paid.
