    Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

    Having owned a brick and mortar business most don't realize the costs that are involved.
    They have to buy at half the price they think a piece can sell to just cover the costs to keep the doors open, not including tryi ng to make a profit.
    With 50 employees, business insurance, rent, operating expenses etc I think they do a good job and provide a heck of a service to those wanting to sell their used gear.

    I sold my Krell KAV-1500 amp and got a fair price thru their consignment program.
    Yea it sucks but, what's the price on convenience?

    Don't forget on the back end they provide a warranty and have to service if something goes wrong right after they sell it.

    A friend of mine used to own a bicycle shop, and he always said, "I have to make money off my friends, since my enemies don't buy from me."

    I've had several transactions buying and selling. No issues here.

    He started a thread on Audiogon about The Music Room also. He received the same type of comments there also.

    I’ve been avoiding this thread but agree with most that TMR has provided both me and my dad great service and convenience. We have bought, sold and traded a number of components. I would be nervous to add up the dollar amount we have cycled thru that place. And I have direct contact information to a sales associate that we have worked with for years.
