Great deal on Bettinardi, possible fake?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I have a lock on a Bettinardi from Craigslist for $100, supposed to pick it up Saturday. Says it's new, and he was given a Cameron his uncle won so he's selling this. I just want to be sure this isn't some fake putter I'm throwing money away at hahah. The pictures aren't great, but the milling doesn't seem like what I've seen in other pictures online, idk. You guys will know more than me. What do you think? Thanks in advance!rwq0wfbzw60d.jpg

They’re definitely faked. And with that same face. Without looking too much, here’s one for $125.

Wow, first I've seen of those, yikes. Thanks.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but why would Bettinardi get involved in this? They sell putters you know, and like, not for $100. This is like calling up Rolex when you're getting ready to buy one for $50 in NYC and asking them to check a serial number.

Because they all care when counterfeit ones are floating in the market. It causes great damage to their brands and value.

Other than the grip being different, this one looks real to me. I have the counter balanced version with corded blue grip but that might have been changed.

The finish does look a bit too flat but that could also be from lighting condition.

Not saying it’s not stolen or it’s not a fake but I don’t think $100 is too low to be fishy on the used market. I have a used Kuchar that I probably won’t ever game and not selling cause I don’t want to take $100 for it, which is what it’s supposed to be worth.

Maybe he checked the PGA guide to use? Maybe he’s not an experienced reseller like everyone on the BST trying to flip their projects or garage sale steals. To a kid (HS or college) that may seem like a good sale for a used club. And it’ll buy you like a Half. If you catch my drift.
