What Is My HiFi Gear Worth? How TMR Calculates Accurate Used Audio Values

Appraising used audio gear is both a science and an art form. After researching and appraising hundreds of thousands of speakers and components - from vintage classics to modern, state-of-the-art masterpieces, we have some of the best audio appraisers in the world on staff. Whenever we make an offer for your used equipment, you can rest assured that our appraisal team has done its due diligence to provide you with the most generous offer possible. Our appraisal team is tasked with reviewing historical sales data, analyzing sales trends, and projecting future market values. They also have to take into account the history of your product, product category, modifications or upgrades, known reliability issues, optional features, and cosmetic condition.

We review all standard sources, such as the Audiogon Bluebook, completed eBay listings, HiFi Shark, US-Audiomart, and, most importantly, our vast history of buying and selling used gear here at The Music Room. However, we don't stop there... we also do a deep dive into our own sales database, which we've built over the years as we've appraised hundreds of thousands of items.

In addition to our proprietary research database, we have a strategic partnership with a well-known online sales venue that provides access to much richer sales data than is available to the general public. All of this intelligence is rounded out with costly but effective market research tools that allow us to search and analyze 3 years of global eBay sales history.
