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...

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. 

I sold them some 20+year-old stuff (Meridian and Classe). The process was very easy - they send you a FedEx label and all you have to do is pack it up safely. I was very happy with the process.

I thought the prices they offered were fair. Yes, you will be offered a wholesale price and you will certainly make more selling it on your own.

You are giving up some profit in exchange for not going through the hassle of selling. What is that worth to you? I can save money by mowing my own lawn, but I pay someone else to do it because I have better things to do with my time.

Unused gear…funny..  I usually buy my unused gear from a dealer.  I buy the gear with after tax money.

I've bought from and sold to TMR in last few years. They have always been wonderful and efficient to deal with. As has been said, no hassle and no time wasted. I could have sold my old speakers (PSB Imagine T2's) for more and possibly my Bel Canto 500m monoblocs, but I would never know how long it would take, what the buyer would need or do, and even what my own shipping costs would be. TMR has their own deal with FedEx. TMR worked well for me.   The stuff I bought from them was packed very well, received quickly, and worked perfectly out of the box with no issues to date.
