FORE!!! Tips to selling and shipping golf clubs on eBay.

[@carlharvey4676]

One of the reasons I watch you is you actually give info and knowledge not just what sold! Thanks brother!

[@goldenstatepicker]

Thanks CARL! Appreciate it.

Mike this video should be required viewing for any reseller. I've just recently started testing the golf club category and it's been great so far. So many great nuggets of wisdom in this one that I'll keep up my sleeve.

[@goldenstatepicker]

I’m very happy for you! There is tremendous value in so many golf clubs. Keep looking and find those really nice gems we sell for great profits!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Yeah I decided to take a chance now I’m stuck with a whole group of clubs I think I got 13 of them I only paid five dollars a negotiated with the guy at the Goodwill outlet a.k.a. bins I think he just wanted to get them out of there but play it again sports won’t take them. None lol

[@mannycolunga6364]

Enjoyed the shipping, description points, process and other points . Thanks for sharing.

[@SharonMusick]

Thank you for an excellent video. I learned so much!

[@stevebaker1820]

I bought a large box of used head covers for $10, mainly Titleist 905R Pro Titanium ones, in various conditions. I’ve sold at least 7 for anywhere from $10 - $15 plus shipping. I’m getting ready to list some clubs, too. As a golfer myself, I have several Pings and Callaway’s to clean and sell. Thanks for the video!

[@goldenstatepicker]

Thank for watching steve.

[@MIND9988T]

Mike, thanks so so much for sharing ur priceless knowledge.👍

[@andreaedwards1968]

Please talk about acceptable condition to sell: dings chips scratches. When is a club considered too damaged to re-sell? cleaning clubs and head covers. measuring - how to, and dry rot - what to look for. Possibly grip condition. When you need to say it needs to be re-gripped. What is the difference between woods and drivers? I learned so much and feel more confident. I saved your video and took good notes. Thank you!

[@goldenstatepicker]

I’ll make a note of this and next golf video we will have to talk about it

Now this guy here seriously breaks down everything for someone interested in buying and selling clubs. Another big thing mentioned (as I’m typing he mentions it), is the length of the club! Especially a putter/driver. Solid content Mike. Big into golf, just happened to stumble across this video! Enjoyed this viewing.

Scrub brush and soap and water. Boxes are harder. I find mine behind Joanna's fabric stores. You have to stock pile them.

[@roberthazen9365]

Absolutely a Great Bolo. I just found your channel . Great Content.

[@goldenstatepicker]

Thank you Robert. Golf Clubs are great money.

[@SharonMusick]

I was thinking that if you closed the first tube and created a hole for the shaft, (along with the newspaper) then put the club head with the bubble wrap in the smaller top....the shaft could stay centered because of the hole instead of removing the first "lid". I haven't tried it yet, but I was gifted with my mothers golf club. I learned so much from your video, I feel prepared to more properly list her clubs!

[@goldenstatepicker]

Nice. Let me know how it works our for you.

Mike, I live in Naples,FL and I am a former LPGA Teaching Professional. Just opened my 2nd Store on eBay selling Clubs, Golf Clothes, shoes etc. it’s a HOTBED down here for Golf! My question is, don’t you find it less expensive to ship clubs via UPS using a regular club box as opposed to Priority? I have ran the scenarios and UPS usually wins out. Thank you! PS- where are you located?

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

One thing that might be useful in buying clubs is a basic knowledge of when each series was made and sold. If you're looking at a TaylorMade Burner Bubble, or a Nike Sasquatch, or a Ping Rapture, you're looking at an older club that is not worth as much as the latest models. As you say, putters are a different matter.

[@goldenstatepicker]

After a while you can tell what is older looking pretty easily. Especially on drivers when the heads were much smaller. I tell a bag of clubs in 3 seconds if anything has potential. Then again I've been playing 45 years.

How can you tell a left from a Wright club? Thank you i have learned so much

When you hold one you would know. It's obvious that's about the best I can say. Right handed is right hand low. Meaning your right hand is low when addressing the golf ball.

Have you ever seen a Southwest Airlines Putter? Lampkin grip. I can’t find a single comp haha

[@goldenstatepicker]

Most of those are promotional pieces. Hard to price them. But there is always someone who will want it.

[@uncleronny6748]

Good info...Thanks. Not to get too granular but I thought that with Ping Eye clubs the serial numbers gotta matchy/matchy when you sell a set to get top dollar. I think thats one reason many sets get parted out.

[@goldenstatepicker]

The ones they want are the beryllium copper pings. Those bring the bigger money

[@pharmacistshane]

You turned me on to looking through golf clubs at thrift stores and garage sales! Just picked up a Scott Cameron putter for $8 at a thrift shop this afternoon that says h.m 1992 on the end of the head. Never heard of this brand but took a shot.

That will be worth money

[@goldenstatepicker]

Oops might be initials of the owner. No model? Newport etc?

[@davidstrange3932]

Hey Mike how is the best way to ship an entire set of clubs with the bag included?

[@goldenstatepicker]

Just ship them inside the bag. The key is the box and that is always the hard part. A golf bag always seems to cost me $50. Ca. to Florida LOL. Use the Ebay calculator. If you search Google it will pop up and you can then check the dimensions and weight to every city. That gives you a good Idea of the price you would be paying. Might be a better calculated shipping item. Pre-box it and you will be ready to go as soon as it is sold.

[@kibunja5163]

You are a source of very useful information. Keep up the good work. How do you tell if a golf club is left or right handed?.

[@goldenstatepicker]

If you are either left or right handed when you put it down you will know. Right handed face pointing left. Left handed face pointing right

[@jamesg.hromnak2333]

Garage sales are great to find golf clubs, so are flea markets.

[@glenbecker7362]

Thanks for the video, have found that to ship a single club is more now?

[@goldenstatepicker]

Are you shipping with USPS?

[@glenbecker7362]

@@goldenstatepicker I was going to sell a driver on ebay which I have done in the past using their USPS service. When I clicked on shipping, it gave a rate of $49-$99 and this was ecomomy shipping. Looking at the other options such as UPS it was also extremely high. I saw similar clubs showing standard shipping starting at 13.99. In the past it was this amount and more depending the state. Is there something I'm doing wrong with the listing?

[@glenbecker7362]

@@goldenstatepicker I figured it out, thanks for the videos.

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

Hey, if you got a full set of irons (Like say a set of ping eye2 green dots or whatever.) is it smarter to part them out or sell as a set? Not sure where to get those long square boxes.

[@goldenstatepicker]

My thought on the older ping eye 2's and zing's is to go for the sets at first. Try the set. EX 2-Wedge then if that doesn't work go 4- wedge and sell the 2 iron and 3 iron. Most older ping sets sell for $125-$175 at best. If you are lucky to have the W and U wedge they might go for a few dollars.

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

I have the W but not the U/P. I also don't have a box that'll accommodate a full set and not sure where to scrounge for one. Behind play it again, Sports Authority or Dicks?

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

I don't have rafters. :D So tape together a few USPS triangle boxes instead. Gotcha.

[@goldenstatepicker]

Yes, Tape them together. Keep them under 48" total length.

[@jburkie01]

Would you replace grips if you found a good brand?

[@goldenstatepicker]

The problem with changing grips is some people prefer their own. There are hundreds of styles. Also, the cost of one grip these days is $8-$12 on average. That doesn't include the grip tape etc. So I say just disclose that they will need new grips and sell them that way.

[@jburkie01]

Scored two Scotty Cameron putters yesterday!!!

[@goldenstatepicker]

Wow. Very very nice.

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

All right great off the bad I wanted to say thank you for doing this video I went to a Goodwill outlet they caught the bins and there was a gentleman there that resells things that play it again sports so I thought I’d take a chance and at first I thought that all the golf clubs I was going to get and one with a bag was going to be $40 I got up there and the guy gave me two bags one that’s probably from like the 1970s and then a modern one and then two sets of clubs super old ones like 20 some years old anyway gave me all the whole lot for five bucks so I thought I’d take a chance on it and I went to play it again sports and they can tell radio it looking Adam that they are over 20 years old. At least I sold a baseball bat for $10 FYI to everyone else they had these at the Goodwill stores and they were priced at seven dollars apiece I think they would only be personal use not resell you would be able to resell it and ship it and make any money off of one club and loss it was really good and really new and super cool!!

[@patriciajoyner9871]

[@patpat6719]

Hey I just bought new golf clubs to resell that came in boxes. Any suggestions how to package these and ship them? don’t want to just put a label on the original box and ship so it doesn’t get damaged and I could get a bad review…

[@goldenstatepicker]

Is the original a brown cardboard box with just the name of the manufacture on it? Is it just says the name on that box you can ship them in that box. If it is a retail box that might be different. Retail is very thin packaging some times. Is it a whole set? Let me know.

im kind of lost i figure if you get a good name club,its going to pay off ? then grps and lent once you buy the club yopu know your going to make more then you spent that's all i care about, of coruse you going to read the club and put all the information in the listing

[@goldenstatepicker]

I'm confused FROZEN. I don't buy every name brand club. Most name brands do make money but not all.

[@cherylbajangem]

I have my note book out..what about condition?

[@goldenstatepicker]

As with everything condition plays a factor and is subject to each club or set. Best you can do is to look at similar condition clubs on the EBAY listings.

[@carlharvey4676]

Clubs are 🔥

[@lizhaydon2250]

Since I'm not a golfer most of this stuff makes no sense to me. The only club that makes sense to me is the putter. I know you gave an intensive description, but not for a non-golfer. I'm more confused. Maybe I stick with books 😉

[@goldenstatepicker]

It's a tricky area GOLF clubs. Many little variables that play a role in getting the right ones and also getting the listing right. Takes time. Thanks again for watching LIZ.

I charged 15 to ship clubs on eBay and eBay charged me 28 to ship and I lost money on clubs… if I charge a flat rate in clubs, I lose money… the only way to make money is through calculated shipping and I’m done selling clubs… eBay ripped me off on that… it was priority shipping and 15 flat rate and I got screwed… only made 6 bucks… no more golf clubs
