A nice Goodwill find if you are from the Battle Creek, MI area

[Tez]

Along with visiting my local Goodwill shops I check their online auctions. They have a nice bag full of what looks like mostly Hogan, Hagan & Wilson Persimmon woods up for auction starting at $8.00. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=12033786

 

I would normally bid on these myself but th shipping charges to Washington are $115.00. They put 90lbs on the shipping to compensate for an "oversize" package with UPS. A nice buy if you are from the area but the shipping is too much for me.

The Hogan driver alone gotta be worth atleast 75 bucks. Nice find. Wish I was in MI

Would be a cool of set of the '53 commemorative Hogans right there. I have a driver and had a 4-wood, but it was in pretty bad shape and fell victim to my first refinishing attempts.

TIm,

They stated in their description, as I did above [quote]The set will be an oversized package and the weight has been adjusted to compensate for the oversized package this will need to be shipped in.

I think they are charging way too much for the shipping but that's the Goodwill. Some stores charge more than others for their shipping. I've seen a single club show as 9lbs when it should be 2lbs.

The clubs are in Michigan but I am in Tacoma, WA.

I can't even bid, being Canadian. Boo Hoo!

90lbs? Maybe they are going to crate them.

Tez/Fred/Teevons....

We'll just see what we have here....


It appears the clubs are at the Battle Creek, MI Goodwill location, which is different than the location stated in the notice (Charlotte, MI)

We might be travelling tomorrow...


And we went to the Goodwill store in Battle Creek, and it appears these clubs are NOT available to be perused...meaning someone is auctioning them through the shopGoodwill site.

Because they're in my neighborhood, I'll bid once.


Though the pickup location was close, unfortunately, I was outbid with 20 seconds left yesterday am.
