American golf double value trade in

How are you guys getting on selling the brand new gear you traded for at AG? Personally Ive found it difficult,dont know weither punters are worried about fakes but even at drastically reduced prices the new gear I have is harder to sell than I thought,people seem to want to pay the extra and buy from shops......

Or everybody has read this thread, picked up tips, and doing this for themselves....??


Certainly prices of decent sets to buy off the bay to trade has gone up
Likewise the prices of new gear has fallen......

You've just gotta look in the for sale section on this forum, people trying to sell on their trades, but tbh, at not a great reduction, same gear freely available on same auction site, off PGA pros for less

I've been selling mine on quite well
But slashing atleast 25% off the shop prices

Some of my trades have good resale values, others that I thought would be OK, didn't go down so well

1 tip for all
Ping G drivers, LS TEC, very hard to resell

The market on M2 fairways has long gone now too, as can be bought for £119 and £129 delivered on eBay from pros

Is the trade in just against other club(s) or can you get anything in store?

Just against clubs at all my local stores
Though I believe there's a trial on at some, whereby you can trade against anything

Not much interest in a brand new titleist sm6 52 so sold for £70,this club retails at AG for £119 but buyers are seeing them new from retailers at £80.I made £35 but bloody hard work .

 

[PaulyMcK]

Am I right in thinking that you can only trade your clubs in against buying new clubs, you don't get cash or a credit voucher?

 

[J5MBF]

I'd imagine it difficult to shift because people selling want too much and people buying want a better deal. I was offered an M2 for £240, I can but one online myself for that or buy from AG for £280. IMO, £40 saving doesn't represent a good enough deal for me. Especially as I purchased irons for £170 myself and got an M2 easily as trade in was £320.

I can only speak for myself, but I would never buy a club online without prior fitting or testing. It would have to be the exact spec as to what I was fitted for, I might see if that changes if there are some cheap deals on Wedges going around.

Not just you. I feel exactly the same. I have to hit the club first every time

Do you think people would be more interested with the receipt included so they can return the club and then be fit for a club for them?

Too much hassle might as well pick out the clubs you like and try them out and chose which one suits you best.

The next purchase is for pure selling on. My bag is done so I got irons to purchase something to sell on

if it came with a receipt totally £400 that could be returned within 30 days people could get the club that suits them maybe? For a lower fee than £400 obvs

Hear what your saying but from experiance with this people just dont care about the savings when it comes to brand new gear,they want to try out the clubs and chose a club and are happy to pay more for it.

I've sold 2 x £400 drivers recently
Titleist 917 D2 drivers
Didn't get £350 for either
It's not as easy as you think

It's a hard sell
If somebody is shelling all that out
They more than likely gonna go get fitted and do it properly
Big investment, just to take a chance
