My experience too, I bought a AP2 914 gap wedge and it looked like it had never hit a ball, £30 cheaper than a vokey.

I sold a number of clubs to them due to experiencing a run of 'non-payments' on eBay. In the main I got what the winning (unpaid) bid was so was happy with taking the money. The didn't quibble on the price once they'd received the clubs and payment was very prompt.

7 on the shafts and heads and 6 on the grips. Shafts are like new (2 of them are), Heads have seen 20-40 rounds 4/5 have seen about 5 rounds, but the grips are ripping where they get pulled out of the bag on all but the 4/5.
With regards the selling price. They have offered me more than I would get on Ebay. Maybe because they have the AW with them so an extra club compared to most 4-PW sets.

Is the approach wedge a Mizuno JPX 825 by any chance ???? I'll have it if it is
No they are Rbz irons.

Just checked their site. Dearer than Golfbidder and they're robbers.

I've got to say
I'm surprised
I've used affordablegolf plenty in the past and their prices were always very good
Certainly always beat golfbidder (for me)
There's a shop local to me that only trades in golf gear, will buy, sell, trade, anything golf related, www.thegolffactory.co.uk
Clubs, bags, balls, clothing
Think a few locals on here have purchased from there before
The thing with all companies like golfbidder, etc, is........they buy off you, but have to be able to sell on, again, for some kind of profit......that's their business.
Plus some sellers don't fully understand just how little their gear is REALLY worth, and how quickly it does Depreciate

I have bought a driver (no longer in use) and a putter from them (love it!). Both at great prices imo and speedy delivery. I havent sold through them however I must admit i'm a bit of a hoarder!

I don't get those who slate companies such as Golfbidder for the prices they offer to buy equipment. As mentioned above they are a business and have to be able to re-sell for a profit, it's just common sense. Nobody is forcing you to sell to them, they don't have a monopoly on the purchasing of used golf gear so if their offer isn't what you want just bung it on eBay or through your pro shop and take your chances!
As Moogie says, I think most remember what they paid for that driver and think that they should be able to get back a large % of the price paid. Usually what you want and what it's actually worth are two totally different things.

i will third this. a lot of people seem to expect golfbidder to bail them out of expensive mistake purchases. I've always found their buying prices very fair and their service very good

As Moogie says, in todays world of very frequent product releases people need to understand how fast their purchases will depreciate. So if second hand/trade in value is important to you then take that into consideration when you buy your new clubs.

I just contacted Golfbidder to sell my pristine G15 irons. They offered me £100 yet are selling the exact same clubs on their site for £216.
I don't have a problem with them making a decent profit, they are a business after all, but offering less than half what they will sell them for is a bit of a mickey take.
Am now trying affordablegolf.co.uk

welcome to the forum nice gentle introduction there
About half resale price is all you'll find anyone buying and selling as a business for used goods IMO.
And about £130-£150 on ebay so that's not a bad price offer IMO.

I have had good experience buying from them. You get what you pay for. No risks of fakes either.

I've just sold my burner2 irons to them, they gave me £150 for them and they have them up for £245. I'm very happy as I bought them 2 years ago from AG for £288 and have played at least once a week and on the driving range regular too with them.
Are the ones on the site for 216 the same quality ratings as yours?

Yep, in fact I'd wager mine are probably in better condition - I bought them just before my wife had twins so needless to say they haven't had too many outings!
Besides, I just can't seem to get on with the huge offset and wide soles. I need the cash to justify updating my G10 driver.

Interestingly they show as a non trading company at the moment.... Wonder if they changed entities.

Only other reason I can think of is if yours might be harder to shift..... Have the shafts been lengthened or shortened? Or perhaps got an unusual lie?

Price seems reasonably fair. I sold my Ping G15's earlier in the year to easy golf exhange, decent condition (probably not as top notch as yours), i got £140. Try easy golf exchange as I had no hassle at all, they sent courier & cheque within 2-3 Days.
