American golf double value trade in

[Papas1982]

They were selling the 915 for £150. They get £90 for the hybrid I trade in. Total £240. Less the £44 they would give me if it wasn't double trade in. £196. Simples. :thup:

Except yunprobably wouldn't have gone in and traded if the deal wasn't on. They haven't lost out on any expected profit. It's just that you have done better than you would have.

Much like Ike most of their deals, they are writing off the dodoubke part as a ways to gain new sales.

Theyve orobably sold loads of 2016 stock at a premium they would be due to reduce soon because of 2017 stock.

The punters are are doing well From it, but it's not hurting their margins.

It took two offers to get me in, the double trade in and the price drop on the wood. Without either I wouldn't have bothered. With the old price of the wood they would have got £246 instead of the £150 they will, and I'd have had to shell out £156.

I'm not sure how long that business model is economically viable.

Thats my point re your purchase. They went into it eyes open so the £46 they lost wasnt ever expected.

I think they will do ok, sales like yours they are selling a club at a price they are ok matching and will probably make their money on the second hand club. How they get on with some real old stuff i dunno, bulk sale to golf bidder?

Trust me, Golfbidder won't touch a lot of the stuff they are taking in part exchange. A lot of people on here knock Golfbidder but the standard of the clubs they offer in relation to the description on the website is beyond reproach and they aren't going to risk their reputation for American Golf's benefit.

I didnt mean in a way to help AG, i simply meant if AG had bitten off more than they could handle, golf bidder may look to take advantage.

I see what you mean about getting rid of old stock, but I don't get how it isn't hurting their profit margins. They've paid way over the odds for gear they aren't going to be able to sell on, and a lot of the deals have had very little money change hands I imagine.
Essentially it looks like they're stocking up on overpriced 2nd hand clubs, why would they do this?

I don't know their profit margins, but I reckon with the favourable rates they've been using they'll be trying to sell most of the second hand stuff at close to what they paid. Some stock they may be stuck with.

But I think they've been clever in holding prices high on sales. I'd imagine soon after the offer ends a fair amount of the clubs people purchased will be 10/20% cheaper in store. As new stock will be available.

So so they've managed to keep profit margins up. Granted a lot were in trade ins, but I reckon on at least 75% of the deals they'll have still been able to turn a profit once 2nd hand clubs sold.

The poorer clibs limbs they bought may well be written off, but as they're in a dominant position in the market, it probably hurts competition. Ore not having the sales than it does ag taking a small financial hit.

I collect my new irons tonight 716 cbs

I have to leave in my mp54's they gave me 315 for them crazy I know. But golf bidder are selling the same irons 322. So they won't make anything on the re sale of these but they got 285 off me for the upgrade.

Also now they have a set of mp54s to sell to compete against golf bidder. Win win for them

I took an old set of Cleveland Hi Bore in today and they were valued at £140 so I walked out with a £130 Oddyssey putter for nothing .Valued my Ping G30 at £176 and they offered a Price Match on The Ping G but I couldn't find a comparison on any sites. Direct Golf mustn't stock Ping anymore.

Been again today. In the last few days I've got rid of a set of TM Rsi-tp irons, a Cobra F6+ driver and a Titliest 915D2 driver.

I've come out with 2 Titliest 816 hybrids, a Titliest 915F 3 wood and another Titliest 915D2 driver(stiff shaft this time), and its cost me less than £80.

Well chuffed.

What did the give you for the 915

The use the PGA.com website for pricing. It comes up in dollars, which the convert using a not too good exchange rate. Think it was £170something

EDIT. It must have been more. Today I swapped the 915 and the Cobra, and bought £400 worth of clubs for £50
