Ebay Pitfalls

[brgolf]

I appreciate the advice and I have gotten a lot more than expected here which is really good.

Taking a step back I've started to reflect on the sort of clubs I am in need of. The idea of buying an expensive set of AP2s or MP68s before demoing them would really defeat the purpose.

The other problem I have is that I might be hard to fit. My current form is not my best and it's not my best because I haven't played much these last couple of years.

Other factors which count against me is my shoddy approach to equipment- I use lakeballs for one thing. The only solution will be to set about doing things properly for a while and then reflect on whether I am as good as I think.

The way i see it I probably can't put forward a very good case at the minute for said clubs especially the MP68s and that probably wont make the fitters job any easier.

But at least I now know what deals there are on Ebay and there are savings of £100+ to be made which I regard as well worth it.

Good point and kudos for realising that new clubs doesn't always make you a better player!

My advice would be to try everything you're interested in, test them out and get fitted for (you should be able to do this without obligation), so you know your specs. This way, once you're ready to start shopping on ebay you know exactly what you need.

ebay is great if you follow a few simple rules.

Good advice... and I would add one thing to that... Be aware of the shipping charges! Some s/h charges take the product to a point where it is higher than you could go to the local retail outlet and purchase the same and drive home with it. I've had very good luck on ebay so far with buying and selling.

Yea, I took the shipping charges as a given, as I always roll them into any bid I'm making so a $35 bid with $15 shipping is actually a $50 bid in my mind.

Of course when I tell my wife how much I paid I always leave the shipping off. "See honey, I only paid $35 for this club. What a deal."
