PS Audio started a trade in program a couple of years ago that has been very successful and is very generous. Who resells those trade ins? TMR for the most part. So in addition to buying direct from users they also have all those PS Audio trade ins to sell, hence a very large volume.
When did AudiogoN become a Showcase for The Music Room?
I get that AgoN has to make money but this is too much. When I see a succession of ads with oddball prices (e.g., $1724), I know to skip. This reseller appears to work on a percentage basis for private sellers looking to cash out. I had a good transaction once with TMR but the prices seem to be high retail, little price flexibility, and the time I tried to ask a question I could not reach the person with authority to speak. This takes the fun out of taking a flyer and experimenting with pre-owned gear for me.
I find myself spending more time on hobbyist resale sites. Interested to know what others think.
