When you purchase online courses, many people think of eBay (used especially for clubs) and puts the golf course "great" on-line. However, there are many more options available for buying golf clubs online.
Auction Houses
Golf Clubs
Yes, there's eBay, and can not really be beaten for online auctions. eBay is second to none for the choice and volume. However, you can get tips on eBay, if you're not careful (see suggestions below). Here are some other auction sites you might want to: Try
or online auctions (U.S.) - I found about 200 golf items for the auction here. Mainly golf balls, gloves and other small things ..... not so much in the way of clubs. Worth a visit
or Golfbidder (UK / Europe) - sells mainly second-hand golf clubs, golf club professionals from around the UK (in% of small size are directly related to public funds) are attached. While most of the clubs are sold as "instant purchase", some are sold at auction. There are usually 30-odd items sold at auction at any timeand you may be able to collect a good deal
or Grays Online (Australia) - suppliers on this page looking particularly manufacturers, wholesalers or retailers, to move excess or slow-moving ...... Consumer non-consumer auctions. Not necessarily a bad thing because some of the risks, but also reduces the range. Although there were only about 40 seats in the auction when I saw the last time there were some good deals. Worth a visit
I would avoid my kind of new golf equipmentthrough online auctions. While you can take some precautions, it is difficult to know if you're getting the genuine article or just a knock-off. Big recognized eBay sellers are probably an exception.
Great Online Shops
There are some online stores that stock a set range of golf equipment and have a lot invested in their brand. Some are better than others, but you should not have any surprises, and you should be a quality service, fast delivery, a countRight of return and a wealth of information for buyers (eg buying guide). Some of the best are:
or Golfsmith
The Golf Warehouse or
Callaway Golf or
or Rock Bottom Golf
Golf Outlets USA or
or Golf Discount
or Austad Golf
or Golf Galaxy
or Snainton Golf
Golf or online
GOLF ONLINE FORUM
Some large online golf community have formed in recent years, and you can now online from dozens of golf forum you choose to participate willof. Some of the larger ones have an area to buy, sell and trade golf equipment.
Why Golf Forum Small (ish) communities of people with a common interest, is quite a safe and friendly environment, buy and sell equipment. If you are unsure if a seller is genuine golf clubs, you can simply ask other forum members.
There are a lot of combined knowledge in these forums, so quickly discovered that the bad apples.
I think these are the best andThey have a very active buy / sell / trade area:
or Golf WRX - approx. 79 000 members (mostly U.S.)
O Magic Golf - approx. 77 000 members (mainly in the UK / Europe)
or iseekgolf - approx. 75,000 members (including Australia)
USED GOLF EQUIPMENT STORES
Stores that sell used equipment, are a great alternative to eBay, classified ads and other online auction sites. The larger stores online have often used: (1) a club used inspection and certification, (2) notQuestions to ensure the right of return, (3) 12-month warranty, and (4) damages.
While many of the major golf equipment online golf shop and sell new and used, there are a few online shops to sell only:
Only be used
or Pre-Owned Callaway - selling other brands, like Nike, Titleist, Ping, TaylorMade. Offer 12 months warranty, 90 days money back guarantee and buy-back
or Pre-Owned TaylorMade -14 day money back guarantee and 12 months warranty
or GolfbidderTo help (UK) -7 days "No problem, 'right of return, 12 month warranty and a few good buyer, you choose the right club

Edwin Watts Golf or - 30 day return policy. No guarantee - manufacturer's warranty to move
or direct course (UK) - trade-ins of used clubs at Golf Direct related shops. 14 days money back guarantee. NotGuarantee
AMAZON
The bag is great Amazon ........ very large. And there's a good selection of new and used golf equipment here.
Amazon Marketplace is a bit 'as eBay sellers (large and small) to register Amazon to sell their new or used golf equipment. The difference is that articles are not sold, are sold at the advertised price. There is also a little 'less risky to buy with the guarantee of Amazon - will return your money if you do not receive the item you paid, orif it is not what you expected.
Amazon also offers a free subscription to Golf Digest or Golf World, if you spend more than U.S. $ 25 (U.S. only).
Check out Amazon's course.
EQUIPMENT manufacturers 'websites'
There's really only a top club manufacturers sell online, and this is Callaway. Others, such as Titleist, Ping, Nike, etc., of course, have Web sites to market their equipment, but generally sell through retail clubs.
Some manufacturers (see below), even if you do not sellEquipment on-line information and tools that will help online buyers want:
or Titleist - Titleist offers a very complete description of their products (including Vokey wedges Scotty Cameron putter), and a catalog of their predecessors. There is also some information on spotting fake Titleist gear
or Ping - Ping is a website editing tool online club that would be useful if you are planning on Ping equipment online to buy elsewhere. Ping has some informationspotting fake gear
Odyssey or - here you can have an instrument well enough online to find the right putter to find. You can purchase Odyssey putters from Callaway website
and Callaway - Callaway equipment can be purchased from their online store
Ads
Online classified sites are another option, especially for used golf clubs. The local newspaper classified has moved online, so it is very likely that you will find a website listing in your area. Although you can not findlargest selection of golf clubs, if the vendor near you go check the club.
Craigslist hosts ads that service the entire planet, then you should also take a look here. And 'the 8 most popular place in the United States, with about 50 million unique visitors per month!
