American golf double value trade in

[xcore]

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

they are a business?

There is only one figure on the trade in tab. More on the research tab but they don't (shouldn't be) use that.

^This^. I've used the trade in twice and both times has the trade tab up on my phone so I can show the amount to expect. AG should be simply using the trade tab and not research

No that's the research tab as has been pointed out. Next to it is the trade in tab that will give one price only. That's the one they should be using.

And that's the one they used when I traded in my set of irons.

Which one? Trade in is the one they are meant to use (and the one Bannockburn, Corstorphine, Braid Hills and Livingston all used).

Where does it say they HAVE to use trade value? It says it's a guide. Having taken loads their id say they have used both equally. If sets are in bad condition why shouldn't they use the lower value? Also if it's not a full set then they have to use research as that has options for partial sets.

Fair comment. Only going by my mate who is a store manager. I bow to your superior knowledge though.

Exactly,my mate takes in a brand new club and they value it via the lowest amount on the guide??

Wasnt having a pop lol. I was simply curious, coz if someone had it in black and white I'd use it to my advantage when getting the lower offers lol.

I think it depends what you're using it for. I've been buying loads and selling so take the good, bad and great exachanges in equal measure. If I was just looking for one eachancge I'd be disappointment to get the short end of the stick.

Re your mate, I think this thread has shown that there seems to be very little communication between the company (higher than store managers) as to the right and wrong practice.

This is what was supposed to be avoided by using one tab. His briefing, in relation to condition, was to refuse sets that were damaged badly so as to be difficult to sell on.
Biggest issue seems to be none of the stores practices are being monitored, he said they had one spot inspection after week one but nothing since.

I have two local stores. Only use of them now though as they pay very little attention to quality.

The other even checked my purchase history and questioned why I had so many as it was against the rules to be buying from eBay to sell to them. A point not mentioned in their t&c's that he tried to imply did exist.

I think some some of us have got luckier than others. I'm just morbidly curious how it's all gonna end for the company now lol

My store hasn't assessed the quality of any of the sets I've bought. They've taken the normal value for every set. They also know what I am doing and have nonissues

i got offered 204 for my MP-59s the other day, just checked online and once it's converted coming out at 124?

Do you guys take this info in with you and haggle?

Last week I traded in a 2014 Big Bertha Driver (£70) and an old R9 460 driver with a shortened shaft (£50 amazingly) against a couple of Callaway MD3 wedges.

You've not done it correctly then mate.

double the value you see online, and then divide it by 1.5.

£204 is the correct amount.
