As I am sure you realize, that isn't tipped, that's snapped off at the hosel.

Lol, seller says tipped 1.5", more like 3.5" as a result of a snapped shaft.  eBay's most expensive tomato stake

You have to wonder if the seller is completely clueless or straight up lying.  And one poor fool has already placed a bid and they are asking $42 for shipping, this is sad!!!  I guess it could be used in a fairway, but it'd play like a piece of rebar.

Lol, this seller has to be kidding... or maybe that is just how they tip'em in Virginia! 😂

Ah, that's too funny. 

 

I messaged the seller and told them that shaft was straight busted.   We'll see if they take it down or not.  If they don't, they clearly know and are scamming.

[clinkinfo]

Well, I think we've got a scammer, here's their answer when confronted about the tip:

 

"The shaft is shortened and tip from Taylormade. It’s clearly broken but broke inside of the hosel and still have the hosel that can be sent. Try again. Have a nice day"

 

and then:

 

"Go buy another"

 

lol

At least the seller acknowledges that the tip broke previously, but it is a fool that thinks this shaft is still playable...

Yeah, that one is broken the same way.  Man, do ventus have a defect??  lol, just kidding.

 

At least that guy acknowledges it's broken in the auction, even through it's worthless. Well,  I mean, I guess it could make a good poking stick?   

 

I think the other guy is just flat out trying to hide that it's broken.

Hey, you might be on to a marketing stroke of genius!  Move over la golf, the velocore putter shaft has arrived.

Anecdote: guy in my group last week had his Black 6S (I believe) break one shot removed from a ~315 yd laser.  When they go, they go.  There was no rough treatment or anything of the sort - it just died in the line of duty.

Sweet.  Now he can list it on eBay.  Just write in the description "auto-tipped during play"

You can use it for a cool Christmas Light hanging stick…that’s what I did with a Graphite Design one that was busted. Maybe I can get this one and see which gives me better results hanging lights.

Probably won't be much difference and it will likely just come down to a feel preference. 🙃

The bidder is the same guy that started a thread about high end alignment sticks.  carbon fiber for $75? Nah - $350 each.

Lol... just looked at the listing again...

 

"This listing was ended by the seller on Wed, May 15 at 10:31 AM because the item was lost or broken."

 

Ya' think?

They relisted it, but this time added to the story that it was broken due to faulty work by Taylormade!

Lol, well it may not take much in the way of shafts to accuse TM in a listing like that but it certainly take a lot of what a club hits.

Heck no, this one has velocore.  Those lights will shine further and more accurate then ever!
