Selling gear with TMR


I’m at the point of wanting to sell some gear and am seeking any experiences of selling with The Music Room. Did it make things easier? Did you get what you thought was a reasonable offer? Other benefits or detriments you might share?

Have worked with them on some buying and selling and find them very responsive and easy to work with. Definitely provide a good service  to make selling of big ticket items in particular more hassle free. 

I have sold items to them a number of times walking into the transaction knowing  that I am leaving money on the table so to speak ; however they are absorbing the hassle of listing, the time waiting for a potential sale, etc. It all comes down to what's more important to you, immediate money in hand, most dollars you can realize, hassle free transaction,  ....

I really love TMR for buying things. I don't expect to get top dollar and realize that they're taking a lot of the hassle away for me. Ultimately, everyone has to decide what's worth *their* time or money, so I'm really just probing different opinions.

Markets are funny things. When there's a lot of data out there -- say, selling a brand like McIntosh or Klipsch, things are easy to price. Then, it comes down to whether one is good with their "cut." When there's not a lot of data out there, then it can get hard to price things, and so whether the "cut" winds up seeming reasonable is a more speculative affair. 

 

 

Yeah TMR provides a good service to help sell used gear. Whether that service is worth it or not to you is a totally personal decision.  Nobody provides a good service for free.   

I used TMR to sell several items and have also purchased Items from them.  All transactions went smoothly, and I had no issues.  I use TMR because I want a stress-free transaction and do not want to deal with shipping issues, buyers that are not happy or buyers that want to return an item they purchased.  I do not want the hassle of handling low ball offers or dealing with buyer price negotiations, etc. 

The Music Room sometimes offers cash for my item and sometimes accepts it for a consignment sale.  They pay the shipping cost from my location to them.   I include a full description of my item describing all including components.  

The Music Room is very professional, helpful, and friendly.  TMR is Highly recommended.
