Which AG? Just looking at clubs to buy off ebay to trade in so don't want to get stuck with a set. Some have ball marks on the face.
Older Titleist seem to be the best trade in deals but check the PGA value guide,gumtree is a good place to get bargain iron sets and ive even heard of people buying sets from cash converters to deal with.

Was pretty much told the same at the shop. Mizuno and Titleist hold the value best as they know they have a 2 year gap between each iteration of clubs, other brands get devalued more often as each model is updated.

I do understand why some people buy old clubs to then immediately part ex away, but I can't help but feel the "boot fair "mentality is just wrong and against the spirit of the offer.

I'm sure American Golf will be making money out of it, or I doubt they'd be doing it, and I'm sure if they could take advantage of me they most definitely would.

Thats me on the naughty step then.

Ive sold 4 917 drivers in last week having got them in exchange for sets costing 140-180.

Bag is all fresh. Am trying to see if I can clear £1500 profit so I can buy a nice set of titleist concept irons on eBay ATM.

Ok this is getting silly now,AG are putting sets of clubs for sale at half the double up price they traded them in for on the shop floor!!
Fella at the club bought a set of Titleist 704's of them for £65,then trades them in at £128 against a Nike 3 wood :confused:

I've done it myself twice already

1 store locally reduced theirs to single value straight away, or some sets at more reasonable sellable prices, in the 1st week
But then had to change after words from "up above"

I actually bought back 1 set that I put in myself, then traded in again at a neighbouring store

So in theory one set of high value irons can get you golf equipment for nothing or very minimal payment until the offer ends.....

Titleist 690, 704, 735 and 755 which can be found for as ,title as £40 will get you an 816 hybrid.

710 and 712 lines can get you 917 woods and drivers from between 130 and 200.

Whats the best way to get a price match? Will they match best online prices or is it instore only? Don't fancy driving around all my local stores just to get a best price! Looking at getting an Odyssey 2 ball fang with super stroke. They have it online for about £179. If i was to go instore i would definitely get atleast £10 off that price normally but with the trade in there may be some resistance without proof of a lower price.

I also called up about a ping g30 sf tec yesterday and he said that would cost £249 even though i bought one last year for £219.

Thanks!

HI, and welcome to the mad house.

My understanding is that they will match any genuine price, internet or shop in the UK, so long as the item is currently in stock at the place they are matching to

They will price match it at £149 as onlinegolf sell it for this (they are owned by AG I believe.)

They wont price match Golf Depot who's prices are genuine so there is exceptions.

I traded some in yesterday for £160, which I had picked up off a seller on ebay just 30 minutes earlier for £43 :clap:

710 CB's I got for £150 trading in for £280, all new M1 woods for me :)
