Newbie question: Trading in equipment

[tony@CIC]

Looking to buy new hybrids - does it make sense to go to a big box store like Golf Galaxy and trade in my old hybrids (ping g20) or trying to sell them outright. FYI I'm a leftie so much smaller market

If you're comfortable on eBay, you'll likely get a lot more out of them selling them.

Stores give you little or nothing as they have to mark them up and still reflect the used price. Sell them yourself at whatever you cab get. If they sit in your garage they are worth zero

Agreed with above comments, store buybacks are pennies in comparison to selling on here or eBay

I don't sell my old stuff. Not worth the price or my time. If anything I'll donate from time to time to a Jr. program or boys club ,etc. Sometimes give to a friend or swap.

I've sold a ton of stuff on ebay over the years however recently I became impatient and traded in a bunch of stuff on a new driver.   Once the dust settled I paid $72.00 bucks for my new Callaway Fusion driver.   The previous posters are correct with saying you make much more selling on ebay etc. however you do what you are comfortable with.

I don't like the bother of E Bay. I'd just as soon trade in, keep it or give it away.

Price them out via the PGA value guide. Then do a quick eBay search and see what they are selling for. If there is a huge difference, which usually happens with newer stuff go with that. I usually trade in online and get a credit unless I know I can sell it quick.

I sell everything that leaves the bag! I go to PGA value guide to get an idea of resale vs trade, and then I search Ebay for the product I'm selling, filtering the search by selecting "completed items". You can get a great idea of what things are going for in the category. Keep in-mind, though, that eBay and PayPal collect 13% from your sales price. If u sell it for $100, you'll get your $100, but next month your bill to eBay will be $13. If the price after fees isn't all that much better than trade value, I just trade the clubs.

I've had great success selling on eBay.
