Confirming serial numbers?

How do I confirm serial numbers off a set of irons I'm thinking of purchasing on eBay?

I just bought a set of Mizuno MP 58 on ebay. What I made sure first is that the seller has a return policy. Then if the seller gives you the serial number in advance you can call Taylormade and check to which set that serial number belongs to. But once you get the clubs make sure you have them checked by a pro near by to confirm they are authentic before the return period is over. That is a little bit of work but certainly worht it. Good luck with your purchase!

I don't believe TM will confirm a club's authenticity anymore, although they will tell you if it's definitely a fake.  All a counterfeiter has to do is go into a golf shop and find one serial number and print that on every club they make and they would show up in TM's database.  But that doesn't make the club real.  However, if your club has a fake serial number, then obviously they can confirm it's a fake.  Just an FYI from the last time I called them, which was about a year ago.  I've got a Superfast 2.0 TP driver being shipped in soon so I'll be calling again soon.
