That is totally different........

$2 for a 12" sandwich, large fries and a soda, might be about cost only......

I would guess shipping costs for 4 hybrids to be at least $15 ....... besides that $1.75 for a hybrid, can about only be a mistake ...... even throwing them in the wastebin makes a better margin......

If you're looking strictly at the one sale itself, you're absolutely right.

Suppose the ad hadn't been a mistake, and they had sent him the clubs at that price.  You want to be he - and a sizable fraction of whoever he tells about the deal - watches their ad regularly?  I bet they sell some things at a good profit after the fact to some of the people watching their email blasts.

Yep if I would have been the shop, I would have updated the mistake, but still have sended the hybrids or I would have contacted the buyer that something went wrong........

...and so this adventure is about to end.

To recap.

I purchased a set of hybrids from the website of Golf Outlets USA.

As it turns out, yes it was a mistake.  However, Dick...i mean Gerald ...LISTEN UP>>>>they declined to answer my e-mails after the refund....LISTEN DICK>>>>>that is how thy do business...I found reviews on the internet of this action with other customers.

DICK!  I filed a complaint with the BBB of California.  Communication opened and after negotiations they sent me a FREE hybrid.

DICK!!!! FREE!!!!!!!!!  Better than 1 cent!

Now get this-the freakin shaft was put on backwards!

I now have a new towel rack!

Meanwhile at Sports Authority I pickued up a killer 5 wood....I think it's the one Elin used!

Swing Happy My Friends!

The print, which ID's the flex, the make, etc which is on the front of the shaft, is on the back.  No biggie, it won't change the swing, but just sloppy work in assembly.

Perhaps I should have used  "on the back side of the shaft." (see pix to the left)

Swing Happy My Friends!

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      At address? I think so. Downswing and through? IDK. I doubt if a whole lot of golfers, if any at all, deliberately think "I have a 9-iron so I need to bend half an inch more through the downswing compared to my 8 iron".

      What Are You Listening To?

      By guitarget ·

      I am listening to 23rd Street.  24 hours a day of cars, trucks, planes, sirens, and neighbors who start lawn mowers at 6:30am. I try to drown it out with 7,600 WAVE music files on a huge USB drive.  Mostly 1950's through 1990's music.

      Thanks! Evolvr, for sure. My indoors setup is pretty close to ready. I want to add a few more lights as it's a pretty dark place to begin with (old barn). Plan to use my iPhone 14 Pro, 720p 240 FPS. I think I got a tripod somewhere, but I nail everything down so I'll make a small box I can just plop the phone into. That way I know it's always in the same spot and level. How does the setup look in terms of angles and stuff.  I saw that topic and bookmarked it for later. A technique where you want the head to move forward and down? I've been doing that for twenty years! (not on purpose) 😛 Looks fun, I'll certainly try it out. £7000. That's certainly "down the line". What would be a good price? Thanks. I'll probably hold off until at least winter comes and see where we're living at that point. For the next six months I'll combine indoor practice with the range, which helps.
