You guys need to get your stories straight. I've just looked up my clubs, trade value is $48 (trade in tab) or $48/60/69 (research tab)

So which is it??

If you add another club in the trade in tab- is it showing $60? So click 3-PW instead of 4-PW or whatever it is.

I tried 3-PW which is what my set is.......$48

Not sure why it is showing the lowest value on the research tab but would assume it is calculated somehow rather than a direct link from middle value on research to trade in.- but it doesn't matter that much as it is the value from the trade in tab. They didn't check the research tab with me at all. Been in with a few sets in two different stores and also rang them up a few times about different clubs and their value has ALWAYS matched the trade in tab value. And they showed me the trade in tab while in store.

Good grief the trade in tab is the lowest amount on the PGA guide!!

They aren't though. Look up a Ping G30 SF tec and tell me they are the same.

$100 on trade in - Lowest value on research is $80.

When rang up about this club- was offered £133 which is based off the $100

Go here and you will see the 3 values, click on "trade in golf club" http://valueguide.pga.com/library/41/iron-set/titleist/704cb/
For a set of 3-pw its the same lowest value.

Yep I know the 2 different tabs, my point is there seems to be a difference of opinion on which value AG are prepared to offer. I was told 'trade in' value in my local store but Mendies seems to think he is getting the middle value on the 'research' tab which is higher.

So why the discrepancy?

Ive been told by them instore that the figure they go with is always the lowest on the PGA guide,if guys are getting a better value good luck to them,strange thou that a brand new club trades in the same as something battered at my local AG's.

there hasn't been a discrepancy on any of the sets ive traded in. I've even just rechecked (Dont know why as 13 sets is proof enough).

But i agree that your 704CB do have a difference. I would assume its based on how many sets they have.

I am however, fed up with people saying they should be taking it off the lowest value. Thats strictly not true.
They use the Trade in Tab which on every set i have bought and researched has matched the mid-value.

Clearly each store makes up their own rules, but i've been to Swindon, Bristol and Eastleigh and had exactly the same service and price

Are you calling everyone liars. My local store uses the lower amount. That is a fact, end of. It seems AG vary between stores.

How os he calling EVERYONE liars? He has told you that he hasn't Ben charged the lowest. I also haven't.

Ithink your last statement is true. The stores are all doing at their own discretion. But I've used Canterbury, ramsgate, Maidstone, Southampton and Eastleigh and all have used the trade in for me.

I've used Canterbury and Ramsgate too and they've done the same for me

Went into AG today, they offered me £100 (£50 doubled) for a set I paid them £110 for 2 years ago. Then price matched the clubs I wanted down by £70 because an alternative store which I searched all over the internet for was cheaper. All in all service and deal I got was fantastic.

Cant fault them them and they have my custom now for more

I can only vouch for AG Camberely. I took in some TM Tour Preferred (08 model) and got offered £175. I was only offered £70 six months ago on Golfbidder and the assistant manager at the store said he'd give me top end as they were regripped. He must have had permission and a go to figure to give me

AG are continuing their double trade in for the seeable future. Other big groups are putting pressure on brands not to support AG while they are doing this trade in deal as they are affective discounting the products. Be interesting to see the outcome

Sorry if this has been covered on this v long thread but when you go on PGA value guide there are 3 values it gives when you press the research function for trade in values- IE Low estimate, mid estimate and high estimate- are they likely to lowball you with the lower figure? I take it there's no chance of the higher figure unless it's brand new?

A club I am looking at trading will go for anywhere between £70-£88-£101 hence why keen to know- the club is in good condition.
