I'm just starting out and looking at buying a use set of irons to get started with at around $100. I've hit some different sets at a couple golf retailers near me, Roger Dunn having the most used sets. 

If I'm honest I think I do prefer the feel of some of the more modern GI irons, but in the $100-150 area I feel like I preferred the Mizunos even though I don't really know why. Might just be the look of them.

Now my issue is trying to figure out if a set is playable or not.

For instance here's a 5-PW set of MX-23s that I was thinking about (about $100), but I do't know if their in good enough shape to use. These would mostly be used at the range and eventually on a course if I make it that far.

Hello. What condition are the grips in? If they're shot...you'll have to factor in that cost. I understand the 'look factor' and it can certainly be important when choosing clubs. It's hard to hit a club you don't like looking down at...at least for me. If you're just starting out and wanting to keep your spending at a minimum those Mizuno irons will be fine as far as club face condition. What you don't want is spacing at the ferrule, bends in the shaft, rattling. There  are much more qualified equipment gurus on this forum than me but for $100 I'd be fine with those from those pics.

The clubs are probably fine, the person who owned them was a really good ball striker. :-)

If you use standard grips they'll cost about $40 for you to change at $4/grip depending upon the shop. Some placed don't charge if you purchase them from the same store.

You are welcome. Plus, they have more. Value condition will never be unplayable. Plus, you can return them. 

Have you purchased and value irons from global golf? I see them recommended a lot, but I don't want to end up with something I don't like the condition of and have to pay the return shipping fee, plus the wait time.

Value irons from globalgolf are actually in pretty good shape all things considered. Very playable.

I bought an iron set from them 4-PW of Titleist AP2 710's, and I couldn't be happier.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
