Guess it depends on what you are looking to get out of it.  I went to one years ago in TX, and it was ok.  You get to check out different vendors' gear, hit some simulators, get some free advice, enter drawings for free stuff, and basically get jacked up for the upcoming season (for those of us in MA / NE).  It's better than looking at snow.  My $.02

i am looking to grab a nice bag for cheap...looking for a nice taylormade bag for about 75-11 bucks

I have only been to two golf expo's and the prices aren't that great usually a slight discount but nothing major. The experience is pretty cool lots of drawings, freebies, and chances to hit on a simulator.

If you are talking about the one at the Seaport World Trade Centers, I went last year. It was decent. Way way way too many vacation vendors set up, and a few of the big OEMs were missing (Titleist, Mizuno).

the way i am looking at it, it is a ten dollar ticket to walk around and be around golf for a few hours...not so bad

Went to one in Seattle recently, it was my first. All in all not toooo bad but not awesome. Aside from Demo row where you could hit all the new stuff, it was basically a ton of resort vacation booths and assorted random crap. The product that was there wasn't priced any better then you can find everyday and some of the older used stuff was priced like they were on crack. It was like 12 bucks to go hit a bunch of stuff and to think about golf on a really windy cold day.

I went today and got a new burner 2.0 combo set and two taylormade xft wedges all for 470. Got a 25% discount because my dad's the cfo at seaport where it's held :). Cool experience, there's one side of the convention center where it's held that is a long stretch of driving range, quite interesting.
