Mine are sold Andy. I was not trying to sell them to you. I just wanted to realise that you were not really doing yourself a favour by going to your friend's old clubs.Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

If you decide to buy those Tom Weiskopf clubs, you might want to ask for more information. In the early 90's, I bought my first set of golf clubs from Sears. The brand was Northwestern Tom Weiskopf, typical of the mass market and cheap quality of the clubs that one gets at Sears. Finally got rid of them when I sold them to a former co-worker for $60 including a Spalding cart bag, sand wedge, putter and a few dozen used balls.

Here is a question. What is a reasonable price to pay for a component set of irons 3-PW? Again, I need a forgiving head. I do know that Golfworks quoted reshafting existing irons with steel @ $9.00 for shaft + grip plus $22.00ea. for labour. Those numbers suggest just buying new.

If you're talking a used set of decent irons + shafts, $150-$200 is reasonable and there is a pretty steady stream of those in the for sale forum here. Sometimes even lower.
If you're talking ProjectX with new high end forged cavities, you're looking at close to $600 just for the parts.
One other thing, based on your profile, you should probably be looking at 5-PW + 2 hybrids.

check the stiffness of the driver. it should be the same as three wood.

Even a set of new component irons isn't too expensive.....$250-$350 for some Raven models if I recall correctly? You can probably confirm the price range with Kona or others. These would be fitted to YOUR requirements.
Check your wrist to floor measurement (wear flat sole shoes only)....32-34" recommends a 37.5" 5-iron....34-36" recommends a 38" 5-iron, etc.
The "standard" length of a 5-iron appears to range between 37.5 to 38".
