Fake Scotty Cameron's on eBay

[bcp]

I have bought a lot of golf equipment off ebay, including 3 Camerons. You do have to be diligent in doing your research, but the legit sellers far outweigh the scammers. Also, ebay is very committed to the cause and will agressively go after suspect sellers.

However; the more I think about it, none of the putters I bought have worked like I had hoped. Maybe mine are all fakes...

People get ripped off and other say "That's why I don't buy stuff from ebay!"

You should, or you're always getting ripped off. For instance, I bought my r7 draw driver for $80 less on ebay -- brand new.

You just have to be VERY careful when spending that kind of money. MAKE SURE they have a "store", and have 99.5%+ feedback rating with atleast 1,000+ feedbacks. And check the pictures VERY closely.

Ebay is risky, but I usually only buy from 1 or 2 sellers that I have bought from before. I don't plan to buy anything soon anyways.

Btw: both items that you are showing examples of are removed.

There was a guy doing a scam with the weights for the R7 driver. I bought them, he took my money and never sent my weights. Lucky for me EBay contacted me a couple of days after I won the auction and let me know about the guy and worked on getting me a refund. All in all, it was a lot of work just to save a few bucks.

Reading your post reminded me that I had to buy some weights for my r7 fairway, I went through the list and couldnt find much, but I saw a seller selling one (1) weight cartridge for $8.00 What does 1 weight cartridge mean? Is that only 1 weight? or 2?

I would assume one weight. Taylormade sells the weights in a whole kit or individually for 14 bucks a pop. I wont try EBay again, but if you find a good deal on them let me know.

I think I just ripped my self off then, Is eight bucks for one Weight expensive?

Ya im just looking around here and see alot of weight/wrench kits for like $60

[TheGasman]

No thats a good price. I think your better off just buying the whole kit for 60 bucks. Plus it gives you something new to play around with.

There is a selling group called 3ballsauctions.com, Inc. or something like that. They're an organization who have an agreement with Ebay to sell some of their stuff on there. I've only bought one club, but if I ever do it again it will only be with them or another similar company I found.

Why? Because first off - it's not just one person - it's an organization. Two - they provide you with UPS tracking (meaning if something were wrong with the purchase or they weren't sending it, UPS will have record that it never shipped...I checked it on the UPS website and tracked it last night - so you can make sure UPS has record that they have a valid shipment before paying). And finally - they make you go a slightly different route when paying. They put you through their secure checking system - so that they and another party of record of your payment (usually through paypal). It's not giving a credit card or an e-mail, just a record that says you paid. So - if they were to scam you or something was wrong with the product, you can easily get a refund. They also communicate well and even gave a phone number if a person would have any pressing questions that needed answered asap.

I got a barely used Titleist 907D1 10.5* driver with an Aldila shaft for 150 bucks.
