Yeah, that's what I've already tested with the G700 wedges I showed him, which he offered $45 for. As a reference, GlobalGolf.com offers $52.50 for my G700 wedges, so honestly that's not that bad of a trade off, in comparison.

I am a former Play It Again Sports franchisee and I can tell you each one has their own niche based upon the owner. I have found that if the owner is a golfer, they tend to carry more golf equipment then anything else.

PIAS is a great place to find some treasures at good prices. You're trading time for money taking your clubs there, and that makes sense for some people. Seeing as how I just keep old clubs in my garage, I suppose that's an even worse deal.

I know that a lot of the Play it Again sports stores are individually owned (at least I think they are?). Can you haggle over price? I've never tried since I don't know if you can...
bladehunter
Oh yea. Never ever pay sticker. Unless it's 009 $99. Then you just pay the guy and run to the car ! I trade and or get discounts every time
Medic
In my experience it depends on what they are offering. If they know that there is demand the sticker price is probably non-negotiable. Find something not quite as popular and they will be glad to work with you.

Its very much a store to store issue. Some stores expect it, other stores seem almost offended. Im fortunate the two stores i frequent most often are very reasonable, the one store that wasnt has since closed. Take that Scrooge.

Hm. Thanks for the info. I have paid sticker on a few things. They were item that I wanted to try and they weren't horribly overpriced. If I had known I probably would have tried to negotiate the prices down a bit. Oh well. Live and learn!
