With a little bit of patience you will be able to find yourself a good quality piece of used golf equipment that is much cheaper than it would otherwise be.

The internet has increased the available options for finding this discount used golf equipment. In this article I’ll be talking about some different avenues you can use to find the best deals, as well as giving you some tips on how to avoid being scammed on your purchased.

This is probably going to be your best chance of finding some good quality discount used golf equipment. The sheer number of auctions here drastically increases your chances of find specific golf products that you are looking for. And if it’s not there now, there’s a good chance it won’t be too long before an auction appears.

Do Your Research Before You Start Searching Through Auctions

The number of auctions you can choose from can often leave you browsing eBay for hours searching for a good deal. I would always recommend that you go onto the site having a clear idea of what you are looking for.

The best idea is to have a shortlist of specific products you are interested in. You can then search through the auctions for each of these products and narrow down your choices to a few auctions which you can then watch.

Use The PGA Value Guide

This is a free tool which you can use to assess the price of any particular auction. It gives the average sales price on eBay on over 5000 equipment models, which is very comprehensive.

When you do your search for a product with the tool, the first price that appears will be the trade-in value. You need to click the small link to the right of this that says ‘re-sale’ value. This is the figure that has the most relevance to you.

Using this figure you can tell whether a price on eBay is cheap or inflated, and therefore work out whether or not you are getting a good deal on your discount used golf equipment.

You can also use this value to help you determine a reserve price on an auction if you have some equipment you would like to sell.

Before you buy any used golf equipment, you should always thoroughly check the condition of every single club. You need to be looking closely at the head, the hosel, the shaft and the grip.

Any imperfections will give you an opportunity to take money off the price, or to look for another option altogether if they are nig imperfections.

When it comes to checking condition on eBay, there should be photos posted for every club that is being offered for sale. If it is a full set this means photos of every club.

Also when buying from eBay you need to check the reputation of the seller – check their feedback and any comments made by their previous customers.

There are many other sources of discount used golf equipment, and you need to make sure that you do not rule these out. While eBay is always going to be your best chance, these other sources can dish up great deals.

Some other sources you can use include:

·         Specialist websites – e.g. 3balls.com, Budget Used Golf Clubs, Golf Heaven.

·         Classifieds – including Craigslist

·         Other Auction Sites

·         Local Retailers

·         Local Golf Courses

So when looking for discount used golf equipment make sure you don’t just jump on the first deal you see. Investigate thoroughly – the equipment, and the vendor. There will always be other deals, so don’t feel like you are missing out if you decide to pass up on one that looks quite good, but you have some slight misgiving.
