Price Way Too Low!

[J-Rob]

I started a thread yesterday about gppgolf.com and i received a positive response about the website. But what i want to know is how do they sell for so cheap. For instance these Nike clubs ( http://www.gppgolf.com/gppg/content/...ariantId=67522 ) are $500 at Dicks. Is there something that i'm missing here?

[RocketSauce]

they also sell em for $279 BRAND NEW on ebay and $299 at RockBottomGolf. Dicks is just overpriced

[J-Rob]

Well on that note lol What do u guys think about these irons?

Knockoffs, or they aren't a legit buy.

Really? Other ppl have said that it a legit site.

They're definately legit so lets just get that straight. Why their prices are so low is something I don't know, nor would I speculate.

[J-Rob]

So I wouldn't be taking a risk if I purchased these from them?

[Doctorfro]

Bought a set of Ping G2s a couple of years ago from them and they were in perfect shape at an extremely reasonable price. I think they're safe.

[J-Rob]

Well im going to give them a try then.

Oh, idk about this site, that's just my response to why a site would have ridiculous prices.

Yes Dick's is like the last major golf store on the market too reduce anything. I guess it's because they sell so many other sporting goods that they can let clubs set there for a few years before they mark them down.

Unfortunately the best stocked pro shop near me is a Dick's so I do buy balls and gloves from there, that's about it!

Yeah im in the exact same situation. However my Dick's has a very helpful staff so that is a major plus.

Don't knock Dick's. You can find some really good deals there if you are patient. Yesterday I just bought a Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5* i-Mix with Aldila DVS 60-S shaft for $150!!!

This site you are talking about has the same club (non i-Mix version with the stock Ozik shaft) for $399.

I don't know about this particular site, but might these clubs be old? Perhaps they are selling "model year 2007 or 2008" clubs. When I bought my Big Bertha 2008's, people were still selling BB 2006, new.

[RocketSauce]

by the way, gppgolf.com IS a legit site and a VERY good one. their customer service is top notch too. you can read a lot about them over at WRX. they are a sponsor over there

Right place at the right time I guess. I had never seen the i-Mix stuff in Dick's. Granted, they were already together and did not come with the wrench, but the components were brand new. They had 4 or 5 of them, but only one was the Tour LCG model. I saw them Monday at lunch, went back to the office and researched them. Once I saw what they were selling for other places and then realized my worst case if I hated the club, the trade-in value of that combo at callawaypreowned.com is $100 I figured it was a no brainer. Buy it, play it, if I don't like it I'm going to get a minimum of 70% of the purchase price in trade for it. Crazy.

I've never bought clubs from them nor do I know anyone that has. That's not to say they aren't completely legit. One reason they may be significantly cheaper than Dick's though is the fact that they don't need to carry a margin anywhere near what Dick's does. Dick's has to pay for millions of square feet of retail space whereas on online retailer can work out of his or her garage or basement.
