STUDque Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Aside from tournament prizes, I'm interested to see what gold people have come into through wheeling and dealing or right place right time. Mine is a modest one. I sold an old driver and 3 wood on eBay and had enough to buy a newer driver, 3 wood, and hybrid without dipping into my pocket. Felt like a superstar when the boxes came rolling in.

hckymeyer Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Bought a used set of KBS C-Tapers off ebay (4-pw) for $120. Came in and all 7 had bent tips so sent pictures to KBS and they sent me a brand new set. Then went back to the ebay seller and golf half my money back for selling bent shafts. So ended up with a full set of brand new KBS C-Tapers in S+ for about $60.

robertson153 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 When I first started golfing(a whole 2 years ago) I borrowed my uncles OLD set of callaway big bertha irons 3-pw. He eventually gave them to me. So when I decided to buy a "new" set he said I could do whatever with them. I put them on eBay and made $145. Paid for half of my "new" irons.

Gave them all a deep clean, fixed the flat tires and replaced a few parts. Sold them off for $600 so my new set of MB2s only cost $20 out of pocket.
