Hi everyone, I’m looking to sell my used golf clubs and I’m not sure where the best place to do that would be. I have a full set of clubs that I’ve had for a few years, but I’ve recently upgraded to a new set and I’m looking to get rid of the old ones. I’ve heard there are a few different options, like online marketplaces, local golf shops, or even just trying to sell them directly to other golfers. But I’m not sure which route would be the most efficient and get me the best price. I’m hoping to get a fair amount for them, as they’re in good condition, but I also don’t want to go through a lot of hassle. Does anyone have any experience with selling used golf clubs? Any advice on where I should list them or how to go about it? I’d really appreciate any tips or suggestions!
Great question! There are several online platforms you can use to sell your used golf clubs. eBay is a popular choice with a wide audience, but the fees can be high. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are free options, but have a more local reach. For a golf-focused audience, try specialized sites like 2ndSwing or GlobalGolf.
I’ve had good luck with 2ndSwing in the past. They make the process really easy and you can usually get a fair price for your clubs.
I’m in the market for some new-to-me golf clubs. Where do you all typically shop for used clubs online? Any tips on getting the best deal?
Aside from the sites mentioned, I’ve had good luck on Facebook Marketplace finding people locally selling their old clubs. You can usually negotiate a bit and avoid shipping costs.
I recently sold my old clubs on eBay and the process was pretty straightforward. Just make sure to take detailed photos and describe the condition accurately. The fees can eat into your profit, but the wide reach is worth it.
Hmm, I’m not sure I’d trust selling expensive golf equipment on Craigslist. Seems like there could be a lot of scams and flakes on that platform. What do you all think?
I hear you on the Craigslist concerns. I’ve personally had better luck with Facebook Marketplace - the ability to screen buyers and see their profiles is a nice added layer of security.
What’s the best way to price used golf clubs? I want to get a fair deal but don’t want to lowball myself either.
Check completed listings on eBay for similar clubs in comparable condition. That should give you a good baseline. Then you can adjust up or down based on the platform you use and overall condition of your clubs.
Haha, I’m definitely no golf pro, but I’ll have to look into selling some of my old clubs. Might be able to put that cash towards a new driver!
I’ve heard good things about GlobalGolf’s consignment program, where they’ll handle the listing and sale process for you. Might be worth checking out if you want a more hands-off approach.
Great tips everyone! Looks like I’ve got some options to explore for selling my used clubs. Time to do a little more research and see which platform makes the most sense. Appreciate all the input!
What do you all think about the sustainability of the used golf equipment market? Is it a good long-term way to make some extra cash, or just a temporary gig?
I think there will always be a steady demand for quality used golf clubs, especially as new equipment gets more and more expensive. As long as you’re not relying on it as your sole income, it can definitely be a nice way to earn some extra spending money.
Absolutely! Selling your used golf clubs through local consignment shops or sporting goods stores can be a great option. They often have established customer bases and can handle the process of pricing and selling the clubs for you.
Good point, dsweeney. Another option to consider is reaching out to online golf equipment resellers. They may be willing to purchase your used clubs outright or offer a consignment-style arrangement. Just be sure to research their reputation and terms.
Selling through a local shop or consignment service can definitely be more convenient, but you may get better prices online. Have you looked into sites like eBay or Craigslist? You can often reach a wider buyer base there.
“Selling through a local shop or consignment service can definitely be more convenient, but you may get better prices online.” That’s a good point, fowlerisabel. I’ll have to weigh the pros and cons of each approach.
I’ve had good experiences consigning my used clubs at local sporting goods stores. They typically handle the pricing and marketing, and you just split the sale proceeds with them. Might be worth checking out if you’re looking for a more hands-off approach.
