Buying balls on eBay?

[hawkeye]

has anyone done this?
good results/bad results?

what about quality of used/refinished balls? The big sellers have lots of ways to grade them - how do you know what you're getting?

Theres been many comments about these on a few forums. I bought 100 for £25 on ebay and they were a lot of dunlop and slazenger balls. I wouldn't really notice the difference as im a high handicapper (have once or twice though), but a lot of people don't like them as the majority of them are lake balls and if a ball is in water for more than a day, it affects its performance in someway. I done this before but i think from now on, chances are I will just buy brand new ones.

I always buy Titleists/Bridgestone used/refinished balls from Ebay for practicing/non-tournament rounds. Never had any problems. Just go with AAA-Grade balls, thats the highest quality you can get from refinished balls.

I buy new balls on ebay all the time. I get $40-45/dozen balls for $25-30. Never had a problem.

New yes. Used/refinished never, you just never know where they've been or how long they have been there (ie - water)

i buy from www.knetgolf.com all the time. i only buy their mint balls though. they are great and most have not even been hit. they're mostly overruns with logos on them. if the logos don't bother you they're really high quality balls for very cheap

I wanted to try some high end balls on my low end budget and bought three dozen Nike ONE Platinum balls from knetgolf.com, and have also bought from lostgolfballs.com. I buy the highest grade used balls they offer and both have lived up to my hopeful expectations.

I buy from Knetgolf.com all the time. Great quality, good prices and fast shipment. Strongly recommend.

I also have bought from usedgolfballs.com, again first quality only. I have been satisfied with the balls. You need to buy several dozen to make the shipping reasonable per dozen.

I ordered a few dozen NXT Tours from usedgolfballdeals.com last week. I was very impressed with the AAA quality, and the AA was better than I expected. As someone else mentioned, it seems like a lot of the AAA balls are logo overruns and may never have been hit.
