To avoid the hassle of actually selling something which has become much more a PITA than it once was.
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
TMR has become a significant player in used high end gear. Their pitch is "we pay you top dollar hassle free for your used gear" .
OK, what's their idea of top dollar? It's 25% to 30% of MSRP minus more $ for blemishes that lower value. I know. I called them.
The same sellers who list their used gear for 30 or 40% under MSRP and refuse legitimate offers from qualified buyers with proven buying or selling history who offer 1/2 or so of retail are roundly ignored or even insulted. Weeks later the same item shows up at TMR at 50% of retail and you know TMR paid half of that for it.
What makes sellers do such a crazy thing?

No reason to be perplexed/surprised. It is their business model and they have been quite successful at it. I have been treated respectfully every time I have bought/sold from them. Each of my transactions have been seamless. You already have a couple of posts explaining why people sell to them. People buy from them to get the stuff they want with exceptional terms of service that include a return policy you wouldn't find from any other seller of used gear.

Agreed. many of their products also have a make an offer option. And they will entertain offers and bargain with you. And, as @mapman pointed out, it’s a guaranteed and risk free transaction. |
