American golf double value trade in

[shivas irons]

I went into one today as a friend wanted to try some new gear and while I was there I asked them to price up my 716 AP2 irons was quite frankly a joke.

When I challenged the guy telling him to recheck the price as it was nowhere near what I had worked out online he offered another £70 straight away and then told me thats as much as they offer.

Its not the first time ive had a bad experience in that particular store, the other in my area has always been fantastic.

Ive had the same in one particular AG store the other two local to me have been brilliant but this one store just will not play ball when it comes to the double deal,a fella at my club got more for a driver at cash converters than what this store offered as a trade in .

not strictly double but still a good price. On the PGA website they normally use the medium price, but when they double it they use the low price. And they convert the price at 1.5 and not the true exchange rate. Then you have to factor in that most stores have poor launch monitors and hitting into nets.

I have to admit I've succumbed to the AG offer. Had a set of TM Tour Preferred (08 version) irons 4-PW sitting doing nothing and best offer from Golfbidder was £60. Too them to AG Camberley and they offered £175 on the spot. Had a go of the Ping G driver in the various head and a few shaft options and opted for the standard head, tweaked down to 10 degrees with the standard shaft in R (right on the cusp of S) but spin number and launch angle fractionally better in R. With vouchers it cost me nothing. Hit it great on the range this afternoon. Roll on next weekend

Poor launch monitors? So you mean GC2 that most have? Not poor at all.

they don't lose low price either.

welcome to the forum but your post is full incorrect

 

[mozza25]

Very few have GC2, they only just started rolling them out. Our local one has the vector. And they do use the low price when doubling up. My friend works there and he told me how it works. I don't see how the double trade in benefits AG from a business point of view as all their money is tied up in stock that they over paid for

So how much can they sell those irons on for, £120? Can see AG going bust over this as they will tie all their cash up in second hand gear which they will lose money on

You don't think American Golf are making £55 on a £300 driver? Not to mention not every trade in will make that much of a loss.

From a selfish point of view I simply don't care. They offered me a deal I couldn't turn down and with the vouchers it cost me nothing. Hardly a huge gamble on my behalf. I don't know what the AG business model is for this double discount but they must (surely?) have thought this through long term

Ive traded in 13 sets of irons mate. They don't use the low price.

Offered me the higher end as the clubs were in good nick with new grips

I love a happy ending to a story! :thup:

They offered you the high price and then doubled it?

Pretty much ALL of us referencing the deal on here have had at least the middle rate and then the £ equivalent doubled.

Wow, perhaps stores vary, my friend says they are only allowed to give low price and then double it, no more. It's a fantastic deal, especially if they are at a range and you can get a decent fitting

To save me going through all 100 pages can someone let me know if you can trade in wedges? i've just got some new ones coming so left we my old ones and wondering if i can trade multiple wedges in against say a putter or driver.

Thanks

From my experiences, you can trade in any club you like, but you can only use one trade in per new club. So you wouldn't be able to trade in multiples wedges against a new driver. It would be 1 wedge against one driver.

 

[Coffey]

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that wedges need to be a set of at least 2 to be traded in. But I have just had a read and cannot see that anywhere so may be it has changed or I am mistaken.

Im not questioning anyone who has managed to trade in a single wedge but their official line on the website condition number 2 is

"Any club, excluding single wedges, can be traded in against any new clubs product. Trade in and purchased items do not have to be the same. For example you could trade in a driver and purchase some irons.​"

That's the line I was looking for!

Had t really thought much on it, but my local store has a board up with their latest deals done on the offer. I've seen quite a few times 3xsm4/5/6 for £x.

So so I think wedges they do accept Ina bunch.
