Value of Clubs

[BlackSnake]

Can someone recommend a good site to check trade in values as well as sell values for used clubs? I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Wayne

PGA.com Value Guide, the National Standard For Golf Club Values and Information

I believe many of the major golf stores (Golf Galaxy does) uses this guide for trade-in values when you want to upgrade, but the prices there are low IMO.

If you're an eBayer, do a search for completed listings and see what price your model clubs sold for in the past 30 days or so. That's what I've done when pricing clubs I sell there or on CraigsList.

Agreed. I start at PGA.com for a baseline. But, I also find there values a bit low.
I then go to ebay and do a search of 'completed listings' for the club in question.

I looked on there. I just didn't know if it was a good source or not. Thanks guys.

The PGA guide is good for trade-in value, and that's about it. I rely on Ebay for figuring out what people will pay for a certain club.

I just looked up some prices on the PGA site, and the prices are WAY low. One set of irons, Cobra Forged SS had a trade -in value of $115 for a set 4-PW. The shafts in the set I have are Rifle Flighted, and the shafts alone are worth that much.

pga value guide is for trade in only...your best bet...which was already described, is a completed listings search on ebay... or multiply the trade in by 1.4 cause thats about all the clubs are really worth... its like driving a car off the lot, todays technology is tommorrows past time...I have a couple of friends that run a golf store new equiment is list minus 15% old is value guide, *1.8 and their goal is 1.4...they accept offers...about the only clubs i ever see above valueguide are fisher putters...the ones with changable inserts...a club that was probably the best of its kind... you can't hardly find em for sale anywhere anymore...personally haven't had one... but my merrill lynch broker does...he goes to the putting greens, puts nothing but 5 footers and keeps changing inserts until they barely role in, then he is ready to play...and he typically has no more tha 29 putts a round...a great putter in my book....I tried changes weights in my putter... but it just makes me think about the fact that my putter is now heavier, thus it might go farther...and I end up short...so I quit messing with it.
