American golf double value trade in

[t0m]

I have just traded in my g20 driver which I bought 4 months ago second hand from them for £50 traded in for £85 😁 Happy days. They must have pretty good margins on their stuff to offer this deal, I got a new Cleveland 54 wedge for £99 so only 14 quid cash

I was told only like for like on clubs

I think you were looking on wrong part of the site. Need to actually use the lft tab for trade, not trade in. That has the value AG work with. They use that value as it is the standard used clubs price, no ratings for condition.

As per:

http://valueguide.pga.com/trade-in/

Not the research tab

Thanks, the value quoted makes sense now.

Anyobne looking for bargains on the 915 driver. Bro just had one price matched at £175, apparently Seaham GC now selling at that price.

The link only gives the price in dollars.. what do they do re exchange rate to pounds ?

I don't know what exchange rate they use but on the PGA site my AP1 716 were valued at $360 - when i phoned to see what they would be for trade in was offered 450quid.

Handy site, cheers for that.

Its a flat 1.5 rate. So $360 / 1.5 = £240 x 2 = £480. So in Kerber's example he is being diddled by £30 (or there is a deduction for any damage)

I have an extremely browned set of 710cb's anybody know roughly what I'd be likely to get is it double trade in even if they're not mint is what I'm getting at

It was done over the phone, just wanted to see what they said - am in for a fitting tonight, so taking the clubs and will make sure i'm armed with knowing their conversion number from $ to GBP

Assuming it's 4-PW and they are not damaged then $183 seems to be the PGA value. So around £240 with the double value.

 

[Jams]

No just the faces are browned the grips are wee bit spit but that's about just a well used set tbh

Or just divide 0.75

About 6 weeks ago bought a M2 driver from AG in watford, full retail £279
Havnt got on well with it so wondered what they would offer so went to the Slough branch today

Even with the double value trade in they would only offer me £200, this is for a 6 week old club in pristine condition, only been used for 5 rounds.
which means their normal trade in would be £100 , or a 65% reduction in price as soon as it walked out the door

they are going for about £200-£220 on the bay, so im not going to give AG the satisfaction of a trade in, particularly as i dont really need any new clubs at the mo, just got to learn to use what I have

I was expecting normal trade in to be between £150-175, so a double offer of between £300-£350. even if they offered what I paid for it, I'd have been happy.

So its maybe not the crock of gold that people think.

I'm not sure any business would buy 2nd hand clubs at the price they are selling them new? That's just plain old common sense?

Asset stripping before they go under. The wife explained it to me much better than I can write it 😅

It was my 1st thought too actually
Or for sale.....??
Dunno...??....just a bit strange that's all

But sure has brought them plenty advertising and publicity
Got tongues wagging as they say

I guess get rid of stock and replace with 2nd hand stock...?

 

[PJ87]

They will have made thousands on these trade in deals... they sell all the new stock and im sure they can get a decent return for these clubs they have bought.. the mark up on the new stuff is probably pretty high and what they make from that more than covers any losses made on the second hand clubs

have taken a lot of business away from other places no-one can match this trade in

 

[garyinderry]

Why haven't they got all these second hand clubs they've taken in out on sale already?

I asked the chap in store and he was none the wiser.

All my local stores now have racks upon racks of used gear for sale
Gateshead must have 30-40 sets of 2nd hand irons out for sale
Lots at way below what they were traded in for

In theory
You could buy a set from them and trade straight back in at double what you paid.....



My mate bought a ping G30 sf TEC driver from them, 2nd hand, for £110
It's PGA value guide price, doubled, was £176....!!
