    Unhappy .99 clubs on eBay

    This is sad, I have three clubs on eBay that end tomorrow, and no action at all. Anyone ever sold or bought a .99 club on eBay? Two of these are really good too, the Never Compromise putter is a beauty and the J33 hybrid is nice too. I'm depressed.

    Are they lefties by chance? I'll go bid 2.50 if they are!

    Put a statring price(the minimum price that you want) for your own protection and be patient. If they don't sell you will get a free relisting notice. Maybe it's just timing.

    I know what you mean Donny.I almost gave away 2 sets of irons on e-bay this year and like Chieflongtee said,putting a reserve on the price usually will get you out of these messes.E-Bay is fun when your stuff is selling at the right price but what a nightmare when its not.

    Just end your auction early and relist them with a minimum reserve,
    or use a Buy it Now or Best Offer listing.




    Or tell us which auctions so we can pick up some $0.99 clubs .

    I checked out your auctions. Right off the bat, your shipping prices make the clubs $20.99. You'd be better off to sell them on this site and save the shipping.

    rather than use a reserve, set the starting price on the auction at a price at a reasonable amount. The whole reserve thing is a not great from a bidders perspective.

    They aren't hard to find when you click "Canada Only"

    Maybe it's just me, but as a buyer I would ignore your ad on there because you're using stock photos. If you were a power-seller with hundreds of listings, my mind might be less inclined to jump to negative thoughts, but I always want to see actual photo's of what I'm shipping my money for.

    some other suggestions after looking at your auctions.

    put real pictures up there. I never bid on anything I can't see, unless its from someone like 3balls.com where I know how they rate their clubs. I would never buy anything from a private seller unless there were very good pictures. Even if i got it for a steal, condition is key.

    List in USD. Canadians are used to paying in USD and Americans will be confused by CAD and the exchange rate makes this very favourable as it ads another 20% to your price.

    List shipping as Canada Post / USPS. Again trying to attract US sellers, Canada Post may scare them off.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    sold?

    it says some guy won the bid or you definately would have it sold for $5 maybe even $10 if I didn't have to go far out of my way. If something happens that its still for sale then PM me.
