American golf double value trade in

[PJ87]

I wouldnt beat yourself up mate. Re the white lie to get the voucher, maybe not the greatest thing in the world, but wont hurt anyone. I've sold loads of clubs, athough my local ag have never complained when i've taken sets in for exchange. Anyine buying the clubs from you online is also getting a good price on new goods, so i dont lose sleep over that.'

yeah now I have the voucher I am selling to a friend to split the cost and he is happy to have a saving. so I guess AG get their sales that way.

I should have resisted buying them off ebay in the first place lol but whats done is done

isnt taking advantage of the offer in the first place (i.e selling clubs that were purchased off ebay) not taking the michael? I have to admit I felt awful afterwards but glad to get rid of the clubs. should never have done it. when I got the clubs off ebay I took them to the shop and had to lie to even get the clubs I wanted (well come up with an excuse) as the guy goes "didnt you buy new irons only a month ago?" so felt like I had to justify this incase they went nope mate not a chance your not selling us these

so the whole situation whilst making a bit of profit hasnt left the best of tastes in the mouth and I wont be going back on ebay to buy any more clubs personally as the hassle and dishonesty from me made me feel bad. I felt like I had to fib , not in order to get the voucher as they would have given it anyways just to avoid the awkwardness.

not my finest hour I will admit but least the mrs is happy. didn't loose face with her as I didn't loose money but lost a lot of dignity and respect for myself personally.

on a side note the manager did remark when authorising the refund on behalf of the sales guy "dont worry we will get the money back when he spends the voucher.. swings and roundabouts"

ive used the offer 3 times in total. twice was as the offer is intended . to buy new clubs for personal use and that felt good. like ive said the 3rd time I'm not overly proud of

my shop know know that I am buying sets to take in and sell the clubs for profit. I've been honest up front and they don't care at all. It still looks good on their sales.

im comfortably into double figures on trades now and still have 3 sets in the post. You're right in that American golf get a sale,i make a small profit and the buyer gets a bloody great deal.

im not doing anything wrong, I'm being opportunistic.

I traded in a driver/vouchers/cash for a Ping Crossover and when I got home I didn't like it, i took it back under the 30 day money back guarantee and could have had my money back but chose to take a hybrid instead at the same value - no problem at all

Since when have AG given money back on returns
Rubbish ive worked for them and they stopped this policy years ago,read what it says on the bottom of all there reciepts,exchange or vouchers.

I bought a Mini driver some months ago for cash and took it back under their guarantee and I definitely was offered the cash back - I did, in the end, take away different mini driver but I was definitely offered my cash back

Interesting comment on the Peter Finch video from someone who says they work at AG. Currently recruiting for an eBay trading assistant so assuming they'all be trying to get rid of a lot of these there.

The local shop told me that they were looking for an Ebay sales person

I ordered a hybrid for collection in store, didn't like it and returned it to the store with the wrapper still on and got a full refund, and that was earlier this year.

I think if you order online they have to give you money back under the distance selling goods act however if you buy in store you see what your purchasing so they don't have to offer money back

I can understand if you bought something online and returned for cash but bought instore AG never give a cash or debit card refunds,this was drummed into sales assistants from AG HQ all the time,it was and is a big no no,you must have been served by a newbie .

I didn't pay in advance via the website, paid by debit card in the shop when I picked it up and got a full refund when I returned it.

So some of you guys are getting cash refunds on items you got with the double deal trade ins?are you going to the same AG's cos seriously it isnt their policy and also really makes a mockery of the double deal trade in.
Buy set of clubs for £100, get £250 trade in which can easily be done,add £50 for a £300 driver,total outlay £150,refunded £300 cash on the item returned for £150 cash profit every time
If I was the guy on here with all the gear he got from the double deal trade in I wouldnt try to resale it all privately i'd just go to one of the stores that gives a cash refund and drop the whole lot on them as a return for retail value.

I don't know about anyone else posting about refunds but my cash refund was earlier this year, nothing to do with trade ins or this current double value trade in deal.

I updated my irons, was really unsure I knew I had some technical issues. I was thinking I would probably take the new stuff back but I have really liked the new irons they have not altered my distances and they have improved my flight.
I would recommend the Callaway XR OS, I pulled a face when he suggested them but seriously they are really good.

Anyone know if this will run after Xmas. Its 160mile round trip for me and when you drive for a living it's hard to get yourself motivated for the journey this time of year

I was told today it was up to Xmas Eve but no idea of that's right or not, only what I was told in the shop.

See I was told in AG Northampton today it was ongoing

Went to AG today, my uncle got me a set of 2 footjoy gloves (the ones I use) just in the wrong size (I have tiny hands) I guessed he got in his local AG as he normally does so I just had a quick chat with the man who sold me my new irons and he swapped them (no receipt) for the smaller size

Little things like that will keep me going back for sure. Top stuff

 

[HDID Kenny]

AG still advertising double discount on FB today.

 

[shivas irons]

Why is it AG always go with the lower PGA price guide figure with the double trade ins? A friend took a Callaway 816 diamond driver brand new still in its wrapper and they insisted they only trade on the lower figure.Take a completely beat up same driver in and you get the same trade in
