I think I'll take my M2 three wood down to the Coventry store tomorrow and see what deal they can do me.

Does the trade in have to be for the same type of club so driver for driver, irons for irons etc. Have a driver I want to trade in but want some new wedges.

As long as it's clubs for clubs you're ok, doesn't have to be the same type.

Driver for 1 wedge
If driver worth more, you don't get credit
Every trade I've had where part ex was valued higher than new purchase, they take the trade in value to £1 less than purchase price of new, so cash still exchanged

Yeah that's correct spoke with them today.
Basically it's hardware for hardware. One item traded against one item. So can trade irons in for a driver.
IE you can't trade in a hybrid and two vokeys say against a new driver.
And as stated if they price match the offer can't be applied. So it's one or the other
So for me to trade my g20 for 80 to come off a 915. It will cost me 170. So therefore for me it's not worth it as you can get the 915 driver elsewhere for 199. So basically I get 30 quid for my driver and not the 80 lol
Also you can't trade in club/s etc against balls shoes or bags.
Great bit of marketing from them all the same. Definitely had me there for a few days was thinking it was a great deal lol.
But am sure there have been some winners like the guy on here that got 180 for a old set of irons and picked himself a nice new putter
This sums it up for me. I'm sure a few have done well, but the deal is so ringfenced. Generally I find them 10/20% more expensive and regularly have to get them to price match before I consider them. And the rate they offer on club values from usd to gbp generally has a premium of 15/20% as well.

They are working off an exchange rate of $1.50 to £1.00
And current rate is closer to 1.3 so a nice 15% profit straight of the bat.

On the other hand
You can trade an old driver and get a wedge
You can trade a set of irons and get a wood
Normally like for like anywhere
So it's not All doom n gloom

Yes, but most people could do that without ag. The deal is a riveted as a super deal. Trading a driver that's 2/3 years old for a wedge is no better than what anyone could do using eBay.

True
But I know plenty that don't do eBay , or can't be bothered.
It's helped me clear a few sets of old irons out the garage for new gear
Every set above what I'd have got on eBay
Each to their own.....

less hassle by a long way tho
I just got £224 for 4-SW ping G15s.. i could sell for say £200 on ebay max.. minus final fees would be about £180.. instead ive got more money with only going into shop and got myself shiny new irons in process
I accept there's the convenience to it. And everyone will weigh it up. I dont think they're robbing anyone by any means, just not as wonderful an offer as they're trying to paint.
Your deal for example, the fair price on a double deal would be £259, so they've made £35 straight off the bat. Don't get me wrong, some clubs wont hold value as well, i'd imainemost poeple selling titleist would be better selling their own, where as callaway or taylormade would benefit from the double deal as they hold value less. But then there's the mark up that your new irons probably cost over some retailers online. Speculation of course as i don't know what irons you have bought.
The campaign is working wonders for em though. I dont expect too many people are looking to deep into it when clearing the shed. And they've got lots of free publicity too.

Moore, how much would I get for my Callaway X series irons 2015 year of manufacture?

You can get a price at PGA value .com
Thats their hopes i think. Convenience and what people are willing to sacrifice for it.
As much as the clubs may have fetched more than what you'd get on ebay, Was it anywhere near double what you'd expect? Would be intrigued to know the "savings" some people think they have made, as i reckon most could sell on ebay and then buy elsewhere for the same or better. But that takes time which not all people have. Working nights i rarely impulse buy anything so can't rmemener the last time i bought something off the shelf without knowing it was the best price.

they are also stealing a lot of business off pro shops. My mate is head pro at a course near me .. could do me a SM6 vokey for £78 I found AFTER buying one off ebay.. annoying lol but he said he could do the irons for less than AG but couldnt match the trade in.. would have been £80 out of pocket so went with AG
