The Music Room

In my case it depended on what I was trying to sell them. They offered a crazy low price on a pair of speakers less than a year old, $500 for $4000 speakers, I passed on that. An amp they offered as much as I was offered here on A'gon after trying for a month to sell it, I took that offer. 

TMR are making a living in the very tough used audio gear market.  If it was easy, everyone would do it.  Their prices are not too far above the general used marketplace and they, unlike sellers here and on USAM, offer a no questions asked return policy.  I purchased a pair of very heavy and somewhat expensive mono amps from them, that I may not have purchased elsewhere without the option to return them if I didn't like them.  It doesn't get much better than that in the used marketplace.

Regarding what they pay for used stuff, that is entirely their business based on their internal market research and perhaps even search requests they receive from their clients.  I have traded in gear to them that I might have sold on the open market but trading it in was a good way to get the deal done.     

@djones51, ok, so same situation as me. I wish I was given an explanation by the rep for the low price.

@mitch2 ,
Very well explained. I found their pricing to be very fair. Have done some trades with them and purchases.

They have a used Stellar S300 listed now and it's only $35 more than new! Someone better jump on it!!
