Good deal or not?

[swanny32]

Someone I know is selling all his golf gear as he has had enough of golf supposedly. Now, he has an almost new G20 3 wood which I have my eye on. He's suggested a part exchange deal where I give him my G10 3 wood and £50 for his G20. My G10 is in fairly decent condition but has a few sky marks and a bit of bag rub on the shaft.

Should I be snapping his hand off or should I look elsewhere?

Sounds reasonable enough to me, assuming the specs of the G20 suit you.

Aren't they still pretty new? Sounds like a good upgrade deal to me! Especially if it's in good nick.

Regular shaft, black dot. I haven't been fitted properly for clubs before but the guy in Nevada Bobs measured my hands and other bits to check I was suitable for black dot.

as long as shaft suits sounds fair enough to me too.

If he is giving up golf, why would he want your old one?

And be prepared to look at your driver and 5 wood and think hmmm G20's.... this could start with a good deal, but turn expensive!!

 

[swanny32]

It's just really to take the financial pressure off of me, he'll then sell my G10 instead of the G20.

Fully prepared to look at my driver, hybrids and irons and decide to change.........credit card is prepared too.

I would do it...

 

[swanny32]

Cool, that's helped me make my mind up. Think I'll snag it off him then rinse the credit card on some new gear.....sell my lot to try and make the majority of it back. Might as well do it while I'm not playing I guess.

 

[swanny32]

After much thought I have decided against it. My handicap is very generous in my opinion and I don't want to have brand new state of the art clubs to destroy and devalue. I'll stick with my clubs I have for the time being, save some money up and then blow it all on a new set in 2013 hopefully. I thought I could stretch to upgrading everything over the coming weeks by using trusty old credit card but my conscience got the better of me.
