How Can They Sell so Cheap?

[dave39]

I have a question. How can some sellers on ebay sell brand new shafts for so cheap? Like they have Adila VS Proto shafts on there selling for $50/new. These retail for almost $200.
How can it be possible? Warehouse bulk sale? Minor Defects that the consumer won't notice?

I have wondered this too. I have just assumed they were fake and never bought any.

They are not fakes. I have purchased over ten Aldila VS's on ebay with no problems. Graphite design Purple Ice and PM702 also not cheap shafts at the local shop go for a fraction of the price on ebay. I have purchased 20 shafts on ebay and they are all legit from a place in CA Proshopwearhouse.

I just bought a new Adila Proto VS By You. $45.00 plus shipping ..if it is real this is going to be crazy

Some of them are pullouts, so they might have cosmetic sctatches, but other than that there are no differences. It's always good to buy from a authorized dealer with a high rating though.

There are now a lot of fake shafts on ebay. Another site has a number of threads on how to identify them. Be very careful.

I've bought clubs from proshopwarehouse, but this one is in Ohio. I don't know where they get their stuff, but their clubs usually have replacement shafts or "custom" shafts. Maybe they pull the good shafts and sell them separately?
