Odyssey retailer selling 'new' WH Pro #1 w/SL-shaft for $250?

[mjo23]

I just stopped at a local Dick’s Sporting Goods and they had an Odyssey White Hot Pro #1 (new condition, wrapped in plastic) with a red stroke-lab shaft. It had a $250 sticker on it, same price as the current 23’ Versas. I believe the WHP line is like a decade+ old, and the #1’s headweight is only 343grams. Kinda odd for such an old model to have a SL shaft (especially considering the lighter headweight) and to also be selling for $250, no? Anyone see something like this before?

Quite a few new #1s out there ... Could have been a special order that the customer never picked up or decided they didn't want.

I don’t think you can place special orders for models that have been out of production for over a decade?

 

This is the model i’m referring too

Maybe whoever put the sticker on made a mistake, humans do that and if someone younger or new to golf they may not have know.

 

Or the shop is greedy and that can sit there until they are worth 250 again.

Yeah the sticker was probably a mistake.

I was mainly surprised to just see a brand new WHP (and even more surprised to see it with a stroke-lab shaft). The WHP lineup was pretty sought after if I recall correctly; and I think it’s one of the few OTR Odyssey’s that has held it’s value well in terms of resale

Dick's does special versions of of older model Odyssey's and sells them exclusively in their stores.  They did this a few years ago with the a few RX models, could be a new "old" model.
