(2) Scratch Staff Bags, used, but in what appears to be very good shape
(10) Dozen TaylorMade Lethal practice balls, new.
Good deal, now that I'm looking for one of those bags I know how hard it is to find a good deal on them.
$300.

Very happy about the transaction.

Took a flyer on the Wilson Staff M3 adjustable hybrid 19*. New in the wrapper for $33 including tool and weight bag and head cover. I really like this hybrid ... hook proof so far. Looking to snag a 23* if I can find another deal.

I bought a doz of TM tour preferred balls at Walmart for $17. I've heard others are getting the same kind of deal. Naturally, YMMV

I hope it wasn't a pricing mistake. The funny thing is, I sold the one I had last week and have regretted it since so this was a nice surprise.

Edit: just received the "inventory issues" email. booooo!

Ping Moonlite Sunday bag for $15 @ the local Play-it-Again. I didn't really want one but for the price I'll be trying minimalist on the afternoons that I don't want to push.

My buddy just hooked me up with a new Sun Mountain C-130. He used it twice and bought a different Bag. Just asked if I wanted it. Um, sure, thanks. Seems like a nice score

Just picked up a Adams Staff bag locally for $60. Great for extra club storage in the office among other golf extras. Don't think this has seen the outdoors.

So, the story is almost better than the deal...which was a 2011 Sun Mountain Four 5 for $35 bucks.
I pop into my not-so-local (farther away) PIAS, and poke around, which I do if I'm in Durham for some other errand.
At this point, I've been wanting a Four 5 for a while now, but haven't wanted to shell out $180 for last years model.

I turn the corner and sitting there is an older Four 5, which I later find is the 2011, when they first had the cart friendly bottom. It's dusty, cobwebby, and dirty, but it looks otherwise in good shape. It's got a tag price of $60. After I poke through it to check zippers and all that, I find that whoever sold it didn't clean out the pockets, and whoever bought it didn't check the pockets. There's a bunch of old tees, some athletic tape, the rain hood, a full dozen of Nike PD Longs, in the box (which was waterlogged), AND a ziploc baggie with about a dimebag's worth of old, dried up pot. It's so old, it doesn't even smell like anything at this point.

So I call a guy over, and ask if they can knock $10 or $15 bucks off the bag. He says he's not allowed, but the other guy might. As he turns to go get him, I mention, "Oh, and it's not a big deal, but if you check this pocket *ziiip*..."
He looks and is just kinda like "Oh...crap."
So he grabs the other guy, "This guy was wondering if we could drop the price any on this bag....but the real problem is, he found a baggie of mary jane in it." And shows him the wacky tobacky.
Other guys just looks at it...."Guess I forgot to check the pockets when I bought it...I can take $25 off of it for ya!"
Done! "BTW, I've got a store credit here too!"
In the end, he still didn't check the rest of the pockets, so the dozen came home with me too!

And after an hour with a bissel, and a good cleaning to clear those thick spiderwebs in the nooks, the only way you can tell its used is most of the chrome rivets are rusted, and the leg springs are on the weaker side. Painted the rivets flat black, and you can't even tell! Booyah!

Picked up a G30 LS from Golfsmith used (virtually new) w/Tour 65 stiff . I tracked down the manager and asked how much room he had to work with the price. Got him to knock of $35 and throw in a new head cover. Out the door for $275.00

Ha, you are lucky they didn't raise the price on you for the extra bag of goodies! Good story, and props on finding a great deal on the bag you were looking for.

I was about to drop some money on a Bennington quiet organizer bag ($280 new) but scored a 2-3 year old model on eBay for $60 shipped.

[LoPan12]

Nice!

Ditto for the 19* and 23*. Great adjustable hybrids.

Just picked up a brand new Callaway X Forged TA 58* wedge with MD grooves and PM grind for $12. Has a small amount of patina from sitting around, but will be stripping the paint and dunking in coke tonight.

Sweet, Sweet, Sweet indeed!!

[3eagles18]

Travelling to Ireland and not taking my usual gamer. Decided to stop by DSG and look for a closeout. Picked up an Adams Speedline Fast 12 for $34.95; like new with a headcover. Told the salesman to saw off an inch and install a grip. When I got to the register it was 20% off so I'm all in for $35 bucks. TSA or the Irish TSA can destroy it, and I won't lose any sleep.

[iyi4iyian]

From what I've read, the shaft is worth more than that alone. I only bought it because my G25 was out to Ping for repairs so I might end up returning it and taking the 90% back.

brand new Tour Issue R1 Driver with Diamana S+ Shaft for $200

Package with Rory headcover and 2 dozen Volt colored RZN Black balls for $50.
