Policy changes at The Music Room TMR Audio

Yep, I read the email and I have no problem with them giving me more time to try things out for only a 5% fee. They have to make a living to.

Just to see how the fee shakes out across different gear, I tried out a few products. In some cases, the fee seems reasonable to me. In other cases, it would probably prevent me from auditioning. I know others here are totally fine with the 5% fee. So, this is just to get a sense of how a 5% fee might play out with different gear. For me. YMMV.

When TMR or any other retailer sells a new unit and it is returned in the same shape, with all the paperwork, etc., can the retailer then sell it again at full price as a new item?  Or do they need to sell it as open box or customer return? 

TMR is my favorite. 5% is chump change for that level of service.

@jetter - Once a new unit is sold, opened and returned it should then be sold as an open box return.
