Londo 220 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Personally, I have had great experiences on eBay buying and selling so far with ~40 or so transactions. I'm sure I will have a bad one eventually but if you are slightly selective about picking your spots (avoid prices that are too good to be true, no/little seller history, bad reviews, only stock photos) you can find some really good deals! Also, I tend to message most sellers before bidding/buying too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found eBay to be safe if you only deal with US sellers that have tons of positive feedback. I broke that rule once with a new P760 4 iron from someone with about 20 positive feedbacks and it turned out to be counterfeit. It was priced reasonably and the pictures looked good. He refused to issue a refund and eBay stepped in and refunded my money. 1 Quote Driver: LTDx 10.5* ... LinQ M40X 6F3 Fairway: SIM2 Max 15/16.5/18* ... Tensei Raw Blue 65R Utility: UDi 18* ...

MisterT 28 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I always stock up on the buy three get four deals on new balls, but also buy mint Titleist balls on eBay from time to time. I always read the Seller’s feedback and description in great detail and usually only buy a dozen or so for days when I am not swinging as well and may burn through a few. And I NEVER buy refurbished balls or water balls.

Cruskater 2 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I have bought 5A or so golf balls used a few times. Generally I buy Vice Pro Plus, but my alternative is Bridgestone Tour BX. When Vice has had shortages I've bought used BX's. It is hard to counterfeit the dimple pattern and reactiv cover. Quote Visit my blog! Cruskatergolf.com for reviews, pictures, travel tips, and more!

HDTVMAN 162 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 There are no "deals" on any golf balls, unless they come from the manufacturer or an authorized retailer with an authorized manufacturer's promotion.

Hook DeLoft 726 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I recently bought 4 dozen Taylormade TP 5's from the lost golf ball website. They are pristine but I'm telling myself they're not counterfeit I did back up one this morning with a lob wedge and I only do that about twice a year. If it is a fake, it's a good fake. 1 Quote 14 of the following: Ping G425 Max Callaway Epic Max 5 wood Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees Callaway Epic Max 11 wood PXG 0311P Gen. 3 6-GW PXG 0211 5-GW PXG 0211 sand wedge bent to 53 degrees Maltby M Series+ 54 degree Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree Evnroll ER2 Ping Sigma 2 Anser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
