These are helpful reports; it seems a reasonable process to embark upon, especially if one is doing a lot of selling and they’re getting reasonable offers from TMR. In one case I’m currently investigating, they don’t have much comparanda for the item, so I’m getting a pretty low offer. I’m going to stick it out on my own -- via USAM and perhaps Audiogon -- and see if I can’t do a bit better than TMR. At the moment, I’m more inclined to keep the bespoke item then let it go for their proposed offer.
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?

I have sold a number of units to them over the years and the experience has always been very good.
Easy every time. I dod agree the price is a bit lower than what you might get selling yourself. it is a trade off between ease of a transaction fro ma trusted source and the unknown of random buyer. I thought it was easier just working with TMR.

@hilde45 I know they can sell it but if I've safely shipped it to them I can risk shipping it to someone else. They are a great company. I agree, |
I sold my Yamaha A-S3000 to them over a year ago and the transaction was flawless! I got a great price on the unit, more than I was expecting! I noticed that they never put it up for resale. I’ve had my PrimaLuna EVO400 Power Amplifier for sale a month now. In January, I submitted the unit for a quote to TMR to test the waters and it was very low. I re-submitted it to them for a quote in early June and their quote came up $600. I called to speak with the rep to see if we could get closer to the price I was looking for and they didn’t move off of it. They did tell me that the price they would resell it for was several hundred more than what I hope to get. Currently, its listed on US Audio Mart. |
