Selling gear with TMR

Every experience I've encountered with TMR has been fantastic.  Buying, selling, consignment, or even declining an offer.  Always quick and professional communication.  I've used them 50+ times over the past few years.

For someone like me, short on patience, they're my go-to.  I still sell gear here and the other site, but if something doesn't sell in a couple weeks I'll use TMR and then kick myself for not doing it initially.

yogiboy, let's just say I haven't checked the fee schedule lately ...  2% is very reasonable, of course at that rate you pay whether you sell or not.  The alternative is almost twice that and more in line with what I was thinking.  Still, not bad.

I’ve bought a few things from them over the years and the experience has been fine. I don’t like that you don’t complete checkout on Audiogon, you get routed to their website and, in my case, they slapped on sales tax which I hadn’t seen mentioned up front.

The one time I requested a quote from them on a $3000 item they offered me $2300. So I wouldn’t bother selling anything to them unless it was a part-ex deal.

 Since you have to pack it and ship it to them anyway, I don’t see why you wouldn’t just sell it yourself directly and pocket some extra cash. 
 

@pmotz ..."I will not sell to them again, not sure about buying. It’s good to hear others have had good transactions, it just didn’t work out for me."

Just to clarify, as a buyer and seller, 2/3 of my experiences have been fair. I regret one of the components I sold, and another odd transaction they later apologized for. When I followed up that buyer was gone. Mistakes happen. Live and learn.

I lost interest in TMR after my first attempted transaction.  I wanted to sell a 4-month new Parasound A21+ in absolutely perfect condition.  They offered me about 1/3 of what I had paid for it new several months prior.  When I asked why so low they said because they could only expect to sell it for $xxxxx.  I passed, and a month or so later saw them sell an identical A21+ for significantly more than their expected selling price they previously mentioned to me and almost twice what they offered me.

I listed and sold it on Agon for a very fair price to myself and the purchaser.

I believe that the individual I dealt with was a new employee.
