Do eBay golf stores actually have buyers at these prices?

Every club this guy is selling is 8 times the PGAvalue price. Do people actually pull the trigger?

Did you know you can search already sold listings on ebay? The biggest selling set of that model I found went for $125 +$20 for shipping almost 2 months ago.

That is how I use eBay. If I am selling something, I note what auction prices were and set my price lower to attract buyers.

If they do, not often enough. So not sure how this is good business? He's not alone. I have bought many excellent clubs on Ebay and unbelievable prices. Yet I see the same clubs, some in hideous condition, at outrageous prices  and they NEVER move. That's why I refer to those types as "antique dealers" because you could literally return to their store in 2 years and see the same items with 2 inches more of dust. My advise, don't dwell on it because there are too many very good businessmen out there that will work with you at fair prices.

I've sold several items on ebay and always tried to give buyers fair prices. Only one time did a buyer become disappointed. I did not have a camera at the time and used stock image, but I was careful to indicate that fact. I described in detail about the condition of the clubs. The buyer bought them blind. Later and "after" the protection period, he emailed me complaining and exclaiming all sorts of things. I learned that he had been on a military deployment and just got back, but said his son had bought the same set of clubs for much less and that he was going to buy that set from his son.  I refunded all his money including shipping. (even though, I was not required to do so). He gave me a positive feedback, but kind of left handed compliment in that he also mentioned that he returned and I refunded him.

When I received the clubs back, I put them back on ebay and they sold at auction for $50 more than the first time around.  "What goes around - comes around".
