American golf double value trade in

[shivas irons]

As far as I know nobody knows what the dispute is between titleist and American golf. I ordered wedges a few weeks ago and found out about the issue, according to the shop I ordered them in I should receive them this week as allegedly the dispute has been resolved.

If I go for a custom fit outwith American golf for a set of Mizuno irons will they order in the spec I ask for on this double trade in deal?

Yes they should honour what you want irrespective of the promo and i'm sure they will.

Im really fascinated about what AG's plans are now. Was in a branch yesterday and they had fairly beat up 915 drivers for £175. No one is going to pay that. Interesting times.

Re American Golf - have used that offer four times so far and it's worked out really well

You even get the 30 day exchange offer within that which is handy

PGA Value seems to have been reset a couple of weeks - have lost $100 off the value of M2's iron sets in that period though my Titeliest driver has gone up

Was going to change the M2's for Steelheads but that will have to wait now

I had an interesting chat with one of the managers in a local AG about the Titleist/AG issue. It seems like Titleist took offence to the double trade in discount offer so tried to put the price AG pay up in line with what they sell to pro shops.

It may be completely wrong, but that's what I was told. I know him well so there's no need to lie either

My local pro is using the offer to his benefit. He has a set of apex irons 1.5" longer as he's tall traded them in against a set of taylormade rsi irons paid £8 now on sale in the pro shop for £400 and he will get a new set off Callaway iron direct from Callaway soon.he also said titleist are not happy with the offer as a lot of club pros are complaining. But some are now taking advantage of it with there traded in stock

Titleist will badge it up as caring about the pros hence not being happy. It seems like they actually saw it as a way of increasing revenue by increasing the profit margins on products sold to AG

Or maybe, just maybe, with the increase in turnover of Titleist stock AG are chancing it with Titleist for a better deal and Titleist are having none of it, AG head office might be pushing their version of events to shop managers, they are unlikely to admit they've tried to pull a fast one on Titleist and failed.
Just playing devil's advocate.

Got a set of callawau Xf, on their site it says they are worth £62, surely that's per iron.

Is the deal set to continue?? I have a Scotty I'm looking to trade for a Taylormade spider (hopefully the red jason day one if anywhere in Belfast has one) and just wondering do I need to get moving?

 

[gmhubble]

Was in the shop today and they are working on a week by week basis

TBH I cannot see how they can continue and am waiting for the bubble to burst as it did Nevada Bobs

They cannot sustain this business model - all their profit is tied up in 2nd hand clubs, clubs that people dont want and clubs that people wont buy at the prices they are charging

It is madness

I just checked the PGA site for a value on my G25 irons. It's coming back as $245 for 4-GW. It was mentioned in earlier posts that there are a few different values AG work on. Any idea what range I should be looking for my irons??

I reckon Mike Ashley will be following this with great interest

Direct golf is slowly coming back into the market and rebuilding under ashley. Its not as bad as I thought would be. they cut buying clubs off people and finance on clubs to keep profits to a max..

if american golf suddenly suffer from this deal I reckon ashley will look to take them over aswell and have a lions share of the market

That's a good price
$245 is approx £326 on the trade in deal

Which is more than you'd get selling them privately

I got £267 for a set of G25's 4-GW in December but no idea if the values have changed since then.

I think the values have went up since December... my ap1s are now £285 and were £250 last month.... I'd be tempted but next set of irons I want to be custom fit properly

Was in the Edinburgh store today and they didn't have many 2nd hand clubs at all. Few decent Ping/Titleist/Callaway woods (albeit needing a good scrub) but was expecting the 2nd hand gear to be falling out the door. No bargains to be had.

My mate has just walloped his in for £330 against some new M2's

i would take £5 horrible looking things

I take it they always use the low valve no matter how good the condition is?

 

[gmhubble]

You need to select the trade in value button on the pfa value website and that gives you the one price that AG use

 

[Imurg]

I was in AG in Milton Keynes today and they have rafts of second hand stuff at prices that can easily be beaten on eBay, similar to prices on Golfbidder but lacking quality in many cases.
2nd hand wedges, admittedly in good nick, marked up at £70..
A fairly beaten up X Hot driver for nearly 100....
They're not going to sell these things very quickly...
