True, but one of the problems with selling pulls is that the person buying it might want an assurance that the person who pulled the shaft actually did it correctly. This is because damage can occur to graphite shafts even though it seemed to come out of the hosel rather easily. So if you're selling a pull and someone asks, "Who pulled it?", if you say, "I did.", they might want to start negotiating.

So in the case of buying a club with an upgrade shaft with the intention of selling that shaft, it would be a good idea to plan in your budget to have a qualified person pull the shaft and get a receipt for his services to act as "proof" later on.
