My man you got that Right...insane prices.They buy then and then want to resell them at prices that are now...On Sale if bought new.This is not the Stock market it is used equipment....and your not test driving it or having it checked out buy your prople...your taking there word for it....Well if your buying something in the 100,000 Ranger...Buyer Beware.
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
TMR has become a significant player in used high end gear. Their pitch is "we pay you top dollar hassle free for your used gear" .
OK, what's their idea of top dollar? It's 25% to 30% of MSRP minus more $ for blemishes that lower value. I know. I called them.
The same sellers who list their used gear for 30 or 40% under MSRP and refuse legitimate offers from qualified buyers with proven buying or selling history who offer 1/2 or so of retail are roundly ignored or even insulted. Weeks later the same item shows up at TMR at 50% of retail and you know TMR paid half of that for it.
What makes sellers do such a crazy thing?

I bought one piece of fairly high end equipment from them. I was treated fairly and the transaction was smooth as silk. I also traded a piece of fairly high end equipment for another (a little higher end). Again smooth as silk. Could I have sold my piece for a better price than they offered. Sure. But they took all the pain out of the deal. I would use them again. |
They just put up a YouTube video walking you through their operations; I found it very interesting indeed, in a positive way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAP0gCRKZuw

Let's look at it from the buyer point of view: The buyer gets 1. A smorgasbord of what's available to pick and choose or not. 2. A thoroughly checked, fully working item. 3. No concern that after paying their $, will some guy at the other end of the country actually ship the purchase. 4. No worry about aggravation if the shipped item is damaged in-transit. 5. Buyer knows he is dealing with someone who has a reputation to protect. 6. Buyer is buying from a known trustworthy seller. 7. Multi-month guarantee. 8. Buyer knows that even if they are paying a bit more, they are getting all of the above. 9. It is certainly cheaper than buying new. 10. Peace-of-mind. |
