The Music Room


With all the talk about PayPal and the IRS, I'm considering other ways to sell my unused gear. I've been thinking about The Music Room. I have the system I want and have no need for trade ins. Has anyone else sold items to The Music Room? How was your experience? Did they give you a decent price for your gear (I understand they need to make a profit too). I just don't want any complications come tax season next year...

They are usually very nice people to deal with but you will get a very low offer if you sell direct to them. As you state, they need to make a profit.

Sure, it reduces the hassle of selling, saves you the stress of your tax concerns, and they handle all the shipping of the item(s) to them.

But you lose significant value as opposed to what you could sell for online here or elsewhere.

What have you got to lose? Send them the info and photos of what you want to sell and see what they offer. In my experience, the low price was not worth the loss of $$ in my pocket.

I've sold quite few pieces through TMR and have been perfectly satisfied. One option they offer is consignment sale - it can be worthwhile if if you're in no hurry for your cash.

An amp I was looking at had been sold and returned 5 or 6 times according to hifishark, listed as one owner, but the unit's seen more shake than dolly partons bra.
