i know alot of the ns community golfs, so i'd just like to know if any of you has had any good/bad experiences with buying golf clubs on ebay. i'm a bit sketchy about a deal i found... you know... "if it's too good to be true it probably isn't true"....
not much of an ebay buyer so i hope you guys can help. ++karma for helpful post. thanks!
i bought a set of golf clubs off ebay last year.. i was sketchy about it too but it all worked reall well. they packaged them super well and everything.. just make sure the person your buying from seems legit.
good luck!
A lot of times golf shops also sell clubs on ebay from there invetory but the really good deals usually dont come from them, check on the condition and where its shipped from or maybe email the seller just to double check.
-hope this helps!
yeah thanks for the heads-up. i'm lookin into a taylormade set... it'd be shipping out from allentown,pa
everything about the seller looks good, 100% feedback, good comments, claims to be a tour rep. but it's just that these clubs retail for like 900 bones and they seem waaay to discounted to be authentic (598 or so) i dunnno..
****BEWARE****
watch out for the "buy it now" specials that seem waaaay too good to be true. i was looking for a ping rapture driver last spring and found one online for $300, when they were selling for $420 at the time. it was shipped incredibly fast (like 2 days), so i took it to the range to try it out. first hit, it sounded like a beer can, with terrible distance, and on the second hit the face dented in. so i took it back to my house to check it out and call the seller. it was brought to my attention later that night that the manufacturers in china were making FAKE rapture drivers. the aluminum composite crown that was supposed to be embedded in the head was a sticker that peeled off, and the paint on the "rapture" writing scratched off from a toothpick. but the seller was incredibly cool about it and paid for the shipping back to him, because he got fucked over just as much as i did. and the funny thing was he had a 99.9% positive feedback rating...
so just be aware of the cheapness of ebay. if you can i would just order the shit you want from a golf shop in the spring when all the deals on last years shit happens. i ordered another rapture through the golf course i worked at for $70 more and its the sickest club ive ever hit, the REAL one of course.
BOTTOM LINE: avoid "buy it now", unless its from a legitimate online golf site.
