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?

@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.

Like others, I got a very low quote on stuff I submitted. Maybe just think if them as the last resort.

I just sold them 2 pairs of headphones and a phono preamp, and I am totally pleased with the transaction, which went very easily and smoothly - highly recommended! Sure, I could have gotten more if I waited for an offer on Agon or USAM, but I'd rather just get somewhat less and get it done with when I want to.

Had a really good experience with TMR recently on a sell and buy situation.  Fair price on a trade-in and a fair price on a secondary purchase. Fifth transaction so far over the past few years.   

One of the buyers there was very helpful, and sharing there are like three buyers and forty employees running the place. They can't overpay and sit on stuff either, and you are paying for the convenience on trade-ins yet it can be helpful if you are trying to move stuff along.
