yes i agree at 412. i've been in 3 separate branches investigating trade ins and there was no apparent manager's discretion in pricing, they all gave me the exact same calculation.

I had them at £412 but seems all over the show another one have just quoted £380 i just need some hard facts about how they are doing it so i can take it to them and show them what it should be

If you(Karl) phone or ask in store without them seeing the clubs, they edge their bets. When I went in I had the PGA website on my phone open and ready to see what they said.
Got exactly what was quoted.

Only way you will get less is.....
Poor condition
Stone dings/chips
Shaft pitting ( maybe )

Otherwise it's as the guide

I was told today by them that it is 1.5 exchange rate and that they have been told to use the lowest offer on the pga site, they still offered me £345 for my irons.

Theory number 11:
Since the Olympics there has been surge of interest in countries without a golf retail market, and AG have done a deal to supply a stock of used gear ��

I'm only jealous as not traded/bought anything yet.

Have just accepted £175 for a set of Razr-X Tour irons which have been gathering dust in the garage for well over a year. Had completely forgotten about them, so thanks all for this thread.

There is only one figure given (the trade in one) and that's the one that they'll stick to. I've done it twice now and the figure found on the PGA value guide is the one they use alongside an exchange rate of 1.5

Check they are looking at the trade in tab and not the research tab on the PGA site, Trade in only has one figure, research has 3 (low, mid and high)
My local AG only uses the trade in tab.

Just upgraded from 714s to 716 using this deal! They price matched and used the trade in tab on pga value but tried to use the research tab so one to be aware off. If you know what your clubs are worth on the site this is a excellent deal but I can imagine a few people getting caught out with low prices
