Best way to sell lightly used golf clubs?
« on: January 27, 2017, 05:59:24 PM »
Craig's list is an option as well but I'd like to move them quick and January isn't the best time.

Have 5 full sets and probably a dozen drivers that were purchased for about $400 each new.

Does a local sporting goods store or golf shop take in used clubs?

What have you got and where are you located?  I may be interested as 2 of my kids need a set.

How many years old?  The challenge with golf clubs is after 3-4 years, there's basically no market for it.  I'm on the board of a not for profit with a thrift store, they're considering not accepting golf clubs

I didn't quite get it. Thankfully he explains a bit better in another video with a song.

How are my 3 year old Posts being posted on?

The mr sandman guy is a spammer. They like registering, make a few very basic posts the come back and add spam links after a few hours- days.

In his 4 posts on this forum, he's 19 years old and his dad is going to give him a car and asking about car insurance, then apparently dad isn't giving him a car and he needs to buy one so wants a loan to buy a car from a payday type loan store, suddenly he has aged at least 10 years and has 2 kids old enough to go though several types of computer equipment and recommends macs for being so light that he doesn't even feel the weight in his back he takes to work, and also has "opinions" about golf clubs. Comedy gold, and also a very stupid spammer.

They search for topics that they can post related spam links and don't care how old the threads are as long as the subject works and there are enough posts to make the threads interesting.

Unfortunately lots of people don't look at dates either and start adding more posts after the spam bump and the mods here won't delete those once the spam is removed. So we end up with zombie threads all over the forum.

Old post brought up by a spammer, but I figured I'd share anyways.

First, go to https://valueguide.pga.com/ to get a value. If you want to sell them quickly, price them lower. Post them on Craigslist and Facebook Markets (3 years ago I would have just said craigslist!). GolfWRX is good as well, but often involves shipping. Then take a TON of pictures. Show the worst clubhead, front, back, bottom, top. Show the 5 iron, show all of the clubs together, show the grips... For a set of irons, I've probably got about 12-24 pictures.

Certain irons are going to hold value pretty well - Ping EYE2, any BeCu Pings, certain Titliest and Mizuno's... While others will drop like crazy. Don't hold out for top dollar for a set of 20 year old Cobras. Probably not much of a market. Putters will hold value better, especially Camerons and TP Mills (and some others, those are just the easiest I've found to sell).

Woods, including drivers, are the tough ones often. It is the club more people replace with regularity, so not a lot of people are looking for one.

If you need an imediate sale, go to Golf Galaxy or 2nd Swing or a pawn shop or a Play it again sports. May or may not get enough.

Back to your regularly scheduled spammers.
