Buying from or selling to?

Buying from they are really good service and the descriptions are geenraly decent. I have bought things in good condition that I've been very pleased with and excellent condition which were really as good as new. They are not the cheapest though and you can normally get a better deal, although more risk, through ebay.

As for selling to them, every quote I've ever had from them has been ridiculously stingy, so I wouldn't bother personally.
 
They are not the cheapest to buy from, but you can return stuff, and their descriptions are pretty honest.

For trade ins, forget it, as they pay pretty badly. Better to use Ebay if you want top prices selling. Golf bidder is convenient though, and instant.
 
They also guarantee that non of their clubs are fakes.

7 day no quibble return - buy a club, try it, don't like it? Return it
Simples....
 
Not great prices if you want to sell. However if, and it is a big if for 95% on here, you can get to their head office in New Malden just off the A3 and near World of Golf you will always get a better price in person and they are prepared to be flexible up to a point
 
Just remember they are a business that is there to make money - no one is going to buy your clubs at top wack and sell you new ones at bargain basement. With Golfbidder my experience is if you are buying their descriptions are spot on even a little over critical - you'll get genuine clubs which you can change if they dont suit. trade ins may be a little low but its all about convenience and not having to deal with ebay scrotes. They're a good company ive always had great experience with

Granted but I put a request in for a quote on my R11's as the TP's have found their way back in the bag lately. £230 for a set of clubs six months old and in top nick. Yes there has to be a profit margin and I know if I decide to sell I'll get them up to around the £260-270 mark in person but I find they give little incentive to do business with them in terms of their prices. Yes they are a good company and 100% reliable in my experience but a little frugal on prices.

they maybe a little frugal on the prices they pay out but even with 6 month old irons there not a lot of room for them to manouvre, you can get a set of brand new R11 for around £439 so if they give much more than £270 with there overheads cost etc i reckon they need to pitch there resale price around £350 second hand compared to £440 new and custom fitted which would you buy?
 
Like anything, clubs lose a hefty slice of value in the first year, unless they're virtually unused.
I got offered 200 quid for my MP58's last year - if you think they were going to sell them for 380 then it's not a bad price considering.
PLus they're not making you sell to them..............

Not even sure I will do. To be honest I've gone back to the TP's as I'm playing so much better again and there are other things I want like a new GPS and putter and figured flogging the R11's would fund one or the other. Might get a few pics done and punt them on the forum first
 
A good mate of mine works for Golfbidder so have not had any problems buying from them :whoo:
 
I live within 10 minutes of Golfbidder's New Malden office so I use them quite a bit. I like the fact that they have their no quibble return so I can buy a few bits, take them over the road to the driving range and then return anything that I don't like/get on with.

As has been mentioned I wouldn't ever sell anything to them as the prices they offer are lower than if eBay so I tend to do my selling on there.

How much does it normally cost to post a driver to someone on ebay? Golfbidder charge £7.50 which when the sale is only £45, thats a large percentage!

Surely the postage is additional to the charge of the sale? I sold my R11 a couple of months ago and the buyer had to pay an additional £10.00 postage to cover these costs.
 
Sorry to bring up an old thread. I've got a quote for some clubs that I want to sell from GolfBidder and the price is actually more than I thought they were worth so I'm a happy boy. However has anyone experience of actually selling with them? Are they likely to receive the clubs and say the way I described them is not correct and knock £20 off here and there?

Cheers
 
In my experience, as long as you thoroughly check them over and are honest with the rating then they give you what you quoted.

I did end up being told one of my eBay purchases was a fake though but that's not really their fault
 
Not sold anything to them though have bought my Titleist MBs from them. I couldn't find a set in nearly as good a condition (they certainly under grade their condition ratings) for the money they were looking. I'll def be using them again. They have a quick delivery service so really wouldn't put me off selling to them, even if it was fir a few quid less as I'd likely be buying from them too so it'd work out well.

I've been very happy with the few times I've bought a club from them. I prefer to pay their prices knowing I will be getting what they have described.

Selling no - I would sell on ebay.
