They certainly don't pay much attention to them. I have had to reiterate club numbers and brand each time. Once when I bring em in and then again when I do the deal.
Titleist are best IMO.

Echo above, Titleist seem the best. Due to make circa £150 on some £170 clubs. (712 cb's)
Have a play on the value site and a quick flick through eBay. The set I bought were on a golf shop on eBay for over £200, I low balled an offer and we met at £170. If I wanted a whole bag change, I do two/three sets but I only really fancy a driver.

Personally I wouldn't be telling people which ones offer the best value. As we're all going to be going to the same site looking for them which isn't fair on people (like me) that have done their research.
However. I will let you know I've picked up 5 sets for £600 in the past 4 days and the trade in value is over £1150.

Yes agree Titliest clubs worked for me. Bought on Ebay for £80. Delivered today took them out the box and within 30 minutes they were traded in for £200.

thats an awful lot of trade in, but are you planning to spend on five new purchases though ?!?

Did the same with the Titliest. Interestingly, was in the Belfast shop tonight and they are allowing customers to trade up to 5 of any club (driver, wedge, putter, irons) towards clothes, bags, trolleys, gps devices. Clubs are 1-1 but can trade up to 5 for any amount of anything else. People had £700 worth of credit and buying garmins, motocaddys, prov1s etc. Took me about 2 hours to get my clubs valued and get my sale. They said this is ending on Sunday but 1-1 club is on until xmas eve.
Give over.
Weve all got got a little lucky with some bonuses. Surely the point of a forum is to share such things. If someone finds a good offer on pro v's they pass it on, or some nice Nike shoes etc.
Anyone having success with the trade ins (myself included) is simply getting lucky. Let's not pretend that we've spent hours watching market forces and stocked up in preparation for the big event.

I've probably spent hours trolling through ebay to see all the sets of irons available, but then I have been well rewarded for my efforts.
I have too. Check each evening as well as have a good scout on nights at work too.
But ive also been fortunate enough to have gotten some free rounds of golf from people on the forum courtesy of their American golf vouchers.
So im happy to share any info I have.

I feel like today is going to be a good day for it, less pro shops and more regular sellers.
I also find it amazing the number of Sh*t clubs people seem to put for sale, sometimes at stupid prices.
It goes both ways too.
I won won a set of callaway razr irons yesterday for 30. With graphite shafts.
Worth 240.
Spoke to local this morning. Apparently the offer of any goods in store is being trialled at certain stores but not mine. Bugger!

Yeah I've traded in a couple of times at another local one, no issues but nothing like this, it was crazy how easy going the guy was, I'd already emailed to ask their values, told him what they said on email and he didn't even look up the value of the clubs just took my word for it, unfortunately I'm an honest soul.

So are people now trading in old clubs getting a new club/clubs and then selling them on ? Is that why there is a Scotty bought one day now for sale the very next on here plus a TMB still in the wrapper ?
Am I missing something with this AG deal - how can they be making profit out of it ?

I assume AG as a large retailer, with premises, guarantees and customer service, can charge a higher price for the second hand clubs, similar to buying a second hand car, you go to the dealer, you pay more.
I have spent £1600 on ebay this month. Have recouped just shy of 2300 and have a completely new set of irons, hybrids and woods. Certainly drying up a litlle on ebay atm.
Manager of my local store says the're intention is to destroy the competition. I believe someone on here knows people at clubhouse, would be interested to hear their take on it as i cna't imagine many people are shopping elsewehere atm.

I wonder if the other retailers could take a case to monopolies commission (or whatever it is called now) for some sort of predatory pricing accusation. Wouldn't be too optimistic, as unlike the US we don't seem to take these sort of things very seriously.
