It depends on who you use, I sent a set off a month or so ago using Interparcel (think it was UPS that couriered) and it was around £15 with insurance. It all depends on how you pack them though as many couriers will use the cubic dimensions as well as weight so the smaller you can get them the better.
RM would need to be either Parcel Force or standard parcels both of which are extortionate once you get to items that size (e.g. one single hybrid sent last week weighing 750g cost me nigh on £6 uninsured!)

Will be sending them in the original box they came in so hopefully keep them safe from damage,or even better buyer can pick-up,

at least ive got an idea of costs ,cheers

I reccommend using a courier service rather than Royal Mail... I use My Hermes though I am sure that others would say different... Cost for a set of irons [insured to £250] would be change out of a tenner [bit more for the Highlands]... Take 3-5 days to deliver and they collect from your home or workplace... HTH

If you want to see what others can offer check out Parcel2go...

Best bet is go on to a site like Interparcel or Parcel2Go and enter the box sizes and approximate weight (they seldom actually weigh anything) and get a costing, so at least then you know.

Edit: did a rough cost for you based on 5kg weight and 100 x 25 x 25 (cm) and it works out about £10 with standard insurance.

Thank you very much for replies and help fellas,was thinking it would be around £10 mark,just need get some pics now and get them posted up:thup:
