Anyone who has been reading my threads has probably come to realize that I buy a ton of golf clubs. I've recently designed and devoted a room in the home I recently purchased(my first)to all of my golf clubs and accessories(it even has a re gripping " station"), at this point, it's pretty much full, I'm getting quite short on room, and I refuse to devote another room to the storage of my clubs and other golf stuff( thinking about doing another room with a trackman launch monitor, but that's a different story for a different time). So my question to anyone who cares, would anyone be interested in basically new clubs and other products from the major manufacturers at a very reduced price? I'm thinking of doing this to help out a lot of players on this site who seem to have a lot of game, but might not have the funds to really out fit themselves as well as they might like to. Every item I sell would be standard specs, there are a lot of times when I'm not really quite sure if I will like an item, so I will scoop it up from a large market store(golf galaxy, golfsmith, etc) in standard specs and play it a little to get a feel for it, my custom specs are close enough to stock specs from most companies that I can get a good feel off of the stock specs, the only real variation is the lie angle which I play 1 degree flat in my irons, and I play hard stepped stiff shafts in my irons(for the most part), i have everything adjusted if I fall in love with the club. Getting back on topic, as I mentioned above, everything I would sell would have standard specs, any club I have built to my specs is engraved with a logo I had designed based on my initials, anything I would sell here would be devoid of custom markings of any kind. If people are interested, I would think of doing it kind of by manufacturer, for example, if I start off listing Nike clubs, I would them list anything else I would sell from Nike before moving to another manufacturer, such as titleist or whichever. The only drawback to this for me personally is the need to take pictures of the items I would list, I hate taking pictures period, especially then having to post them on the web, it's like a huge pet peeve for me, the only cameras I've ever owned have been on cell phones, I've mentioned before that I'm the only person I know without a Facebook, but I realize it would be nessescary if I'm going to do this because it would be crazy for someone to buy something over the Internet without seeing it first. Everything I would sell would be from the last year or two, and would not have been played more than a few times, things that I don't love enough to game often, aren't old enough to have developed some sentimental value, and aren't special enough visually for me to hang on to them for aesthetic purposes alone, I would include a mini review for every item as well as the reasons why I will sell it. Let me know what you think, and if anyone is interested. Thank you. P.S Here is an example of an item I would list: Nike VR pro combo, 3-PW, purchased this April, played 2 rounds and about an hour on the range, everything is standard, shaft is TT Dynamic gold S300, no marks on them $400.00 Jay

I don't have a facebook page, so you aren't the only one.

Post your items for sale in the for sale forum if you want to sell them. As a buyer, I would recommend buying a camera and taking high quality pictures of your items for sale. It is quite simple to get a picture on this forum.

Make that 3 people without a facebook page. The wife does and it frankly it creeps me out a little with facial recognition technology and who-knows-what-else they are trying to pry open in your life. Anyway back to the topic.

Yea, I know I would be interested in taking a look at what you had in the way of Titleist or Mizuno irons. Thinking of picking up a set of 710CB's in the offseason soo....

Just list the stuff you are selling on ebay or in the for sale section here. Thousands of people do it. People buy on price and not the perceptionthat someone is providing a public service. I would strongly advise against engraving anything on clubs if you want to sell them. Check the prices of completed items on ebay and you'll get an idea of what your stuff is worth. The more photos the better. And be scrupulously honest about condition.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Lmao, I guess it's my age, I should have said I'm the only one my age without a facebook page, still, i'm surprised even a few people don't have it, even my mother has recently created one, every time I stop by my parents house, she seems to be on her computer "face booking". A lot of the sticks I'm thinking of selling, I'm doing it to make room for miura, scratch, and other JDM or custom clubs, I have the 1957 baby blades 3-Pw, MC 102 3-5, a k grind and c grind wedge arriving tomorrow, i just ordered the yururi raw flat back blades 3-pw satin finish, a yururi rupas wedge, and a bettinardi putter yesterday from tour spec. I'm giving serious thought to the scratch sb-1's and miura giken(Japanese model) 2008 5003 MB, Miura tourney blades limited in black finish, gold's factory wedge and custom putter, miura cb301, and the miura driving iron(can't remember model name)....... Lots of Nike product i'll probably offer first, this year's pro combos3-PW, last year's VR hybrid, method001, 2 vrev wedges, possibly this years vr pro 3 wood as I'm not crazy about the straight fit. Last year's vr wedges If I offer any titleist(haven't decided yet) 710 mb(if I like the new model), 910h 17 degree, 4 or 5 vokey wedges, 909 driver, ap2 3-PW Mizuno is tough, as I'm partial to the company, but if I do, mp58 3-PW, mp53 3-5, possibly a set of once played mp 68's(I prefer the 67 and early models, 32,33,30), the 68's have my initials engraved though, mp 60 3-PW, jpx driver(haven't played it yet, it's been sitting around for a little bit), anything else from mizzy that I don't play now is because I beat the helll outta it already... 2 of this year's callaway wedges, diablo forged irons 5-pw, razr hawk driver 2 of this year's Adams idea hybrids, possibly the cb1 black 4-gw 2 new Cleveland cg 15 wedges Cobra s3 limited white driver Ummm, I can't really think of anything else at this moment, I really gotta go through what I have to be 100% sure what else I would sell, as well as to get the specific lofts and bounces on the wedges, and the lofts on the hybrids, most drivers are 9.5s, some items may have different grips if the 1 or 2 times I played them I was going through an experimental phase, again, I'll be able to get all that info when I really take a good look through everything, there will probably be plenty more that I forgot to mention, Ill also try to get which shafts are in which clubs, I don't buy many 3 woods, I've been kind of phasing them outta my bag lately in favor of a lower lofted hybrid, I play a lot of long irons on long approach shots, and I would rather have the hybrid to act more as a utility club than a 3 wood I rarely use, i will occasionally play the 3 wood on very long courses, and my gamer has been last years Nike victory red with the glued hosel(I have come to dislike adjustable hosels lately as they don't feel as sturdy to me). Regarding Taylor Made, I very rarely buy there clubs, I'm just not a big fan, I have 2 hybrids from 4 years ago, a 28 degree burner rescue that is the ultimate utility club, and saves my ass from the trees constantly, I can hit any shape punch like it second nature, and that's just to valuable to ever get rid of, and a 19 degree burner rescue that often makes it's way into my current bag, I also had an r7 limited driver, which until this year I thought would be my primary gamer..... Forever lol..... But the new 910s, both d2 and d3 knocked it outta the bag, I also rotate in last year victory red tour driver with the glued hosel, depending on the course I play and the shot I want. 1par2win, I actually recently gave the 710 cbs to a friend(he doesnt really do them justice lol)along with the recently retired r7 limited, 2 non conforming vokey wedges, a Nike sv wedge, callaway 3 wood, and a Taylor made staff bag from a few years ago. I do not own many Ping clubs, I do own some, but I need to take a look for what I have exactly, I would probably sell most of them, I'm not a huge ping guy. As far as putters go, I normally buy Scotty putters, I don't buy every single Cameron that comes out, but I buy quite a few, I hang on to every single one, I still have the first Cameron putter I ever bought, and it makes it's way into my bag sometimes, I would never sell them or give them away. The method putter I mentioned above was an impulse buy, I actually played it for a few rounds, and my stroke really suffered, I was getting too wristy, there's nothing wrong with the putter, it has a pretty nice feel, but after being very used to a certain feel in my putters, I just felt like I had to give it a lot more juice with the Nike, and I was doing that in the wrong way by engaging my wrists.., I'm going to give some other putters a shot, I mentioned above that I ordered the bettinardi(tour SB-10 mr2 face sound slot long neck), I will probably give gold's factory a shot, as well as possibly having a Cameron re done by gold's. If I absolutely fall in love with the clubs I have already ordered or will order in the next few days I'll probably wind up scooping up everything made by Miura, Yururi, Scratch, etc... And if that happens, there will probably be more things I will sell, but I really don't want to sell anything to someone that has been played a lot, I would feel like I was getting over on someone if they gave me money for something heavily used, maybe I'll do some giveaways, also, a lot of what I wouldn't originally think to sell has my initials engraved on it, and I just can't see anyone wanting a club with my initials on it, again, if I absolutely must get rid of some of those clubs, I'll do some giveaways. P.S any thing I would list on this site, I would list with photos, I wasn't trying to imply that I wasn't going to put up the pictures, just my strong dislike of taking pictures, and more specifically posting them online. Sorry about the long post, let me know what you think. Thank you. Jay
