I don't buy on eBay but hang around the thrift shops and find some good bargains.  I esp like the shops in the retirement communities since lots of the old guys 'pass on' and them all those clubs move to the thrift shops.  Anyway, i always inspect the grip and if no good i, almost always, reject the club since to replace the grip will cost me more money and time. True, infrequently,  i find an exceptional or rare club which i may buy even if a poor grip, but it's gotta b great.

In this case, looks like they've posted pics of the actual clubs and have given a decent description of the item's condition, so that should be enough info to decide. Larger retailers normally describe their rating systems pretty well, so check that out when you're thinking of buying. If the feedback tells you people generally think they describe their items properly, then chances are you'll get an item that matches your expectations. This seller doesn't have a lot of feedback, but for $62 not sure you can go wrong. Good luck!

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

When buying on Ebay, you always want to see actual pics.  If theyre stock photos and the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Woods: :mizuno: JPX 850 9.5*, :mizuno: JPX 850 15*, :mizuno: JPX-850 19*, :mizuno: JPX Fli-Hi #4, :mizuno: JPX 800 Pro 5-PW, :mizuno: MP T-4 50-06, 54-09 58-10, :cleveland: Smart Square Blade and :bridgestone: B330-S

Exactly, actual pics not stock or generic pictures.  The only possible exception to that  rule is if you buy from a manufacturer's ebay store, like Callaway preowned. You can take advantage of their warranty if you don't like the condition of the club. So far it has worked for me, I have bought four off ebay and the three I have received have been very good bargains. I have also purchased hard to find hats and gloves.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.
