The Music Room is Slipping

"And what did you learn?"

I have learned there are a few people here that share my take, and many more that don't. It does appear that quite a few have seen a shift in how TMR does things. Hopefully my original thoughts help TMR refocus a bit, and people at the very least go into dealing with them with open eyes instead of the seemingly blind trust many had in the past.

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

Call it what you will... I would rather sit back and listen to the music than engage with every post that disagrees with me. Life is way too short to constantly engage in the senseless. Agree with me or not makes zero difference in the grand plan of the universe.

I have bought from TMR and was satisfied with the service and price. I’ve tried to sell to TMR also however I declined as the offer was low. They did suggest I try a private sale which I successfully did. I can’t complain about how that was handled 

I just completed a consignment deal with TMR and it was a very smooth and easy transaction. They payed for my shipping (surely part of their fee) with their cut being 30%. They sold it for a couple hundred less than what I originally paid. When I listed my piece privately for a lot less money, I received no serious bites. TMR’s return and trade-in policy is a good benefit to buyers.

So all in all, I got $250 to $300 less than my private asking price considering I was going to pay for shipping and absorb any PP fees. I am okay with that.

Typically, I don’t chime in on these threads but it seems everyone here has an opinion and I’ll share mine. I have bought from TMR and can’t really complain. My transactions have gone smoothly. They will negotiate on prices, but lowball offers will likely not be accepted. Let’s face it, they’re in business to make money or they will go the way of many other former sellers. You probably know who I mean!
