Sell Your Used Clubs To Increase Your Available Golf Dollars!

Sell your used clubs is a strategy the frugal golfer finds is a no-brainer! And it's getting easier to do it all the time. Sell your used clubs & you can stretch your golf dollar that much further! For example, are you buying a new driver? Then, sell your old driver or trade it in to help pay for it.

Before you sell your club, you need to know how much it is worth. Two excellent sources are the PGA.com Value Guide and Golf Blue Book . Both of these guides have a database of current used club transactions, and will tell you how much you can expect.

You have a number choices to sell your used clubs. The last few years has seen many online stores spring up specifically to buy clubs. A few you might check out are Sell-A-Club.com, IBuyGolfClubs.com , and GolfClubBroker.com . Basically, you will describe your club online to them, get a quote, & then if you accept the price, you ship the club to them at your own expense. All these sites have escrows or other systems to ensure you get your money. The biggest hassle you might run into is if you haven't described your club according to the buyer's grading system. The buyer would then have the right to ship your club back to you at your expense.

Many online golf forums have sections devoted to used golf equipment. Check out FGI Forums Flea Market & Swap Shop or GolfRewind.com Marketplace forum Buy/Sell Golf Equipment . There is a bit of a trust factor here in that you are dealing with individuals rather than a company, but it might be worth a try especially if you have a club the online stores won't give you a good price for.

eBay is always a viable option to both buy and sell just about anything! You'll probably find that selling on eBay is just as fun and exciting as buying, and eBay's outstanding Trust and Safety Program will help to ensure a positive auction experience.

Trading in your used club when you buy your new one will reduce your costs too. Just as when you trade in a car for a new one, you probably won't get as good a deal as if you sold it yourself. But you take most of the hassle out of it. Online stores that have excellent trade in programs are Callaway Golf Pre-owned , The Golf Warehouse , Golfsmith , and Golf Galaxy .

The most trouble free way to get at least something for your used clubs is to donate them to charity (thanks Herb Bailey!). Get a receipt and follow your IRS tax guidelines, & you can get a charitable donations deduction on your taxes.

Clean out your garage, make your wife (or husband) happy & get rid of those clubs you don't use anymore. The frugal golfer knows there is money in selling your used clubs - money you can use to stretch your golf dollar!
