Is it me or does browsing Facebook groups and Marketplace bring out the bad in our minds. I saw a set of Nike Vapor pros that I know I won’t lose money on. They are in great condition amd I could drive 45 minutes to get them.

When I wake up in the morning though I seem to come to my senses and say no. Later on the day the needle goes to yes.

I don’t have clubs, I use the Pings in Nick’s bag, which were my old ones and he’ll never use them. I can’t afford TM irons even with the discount.

Typhoon Apparently, it's been a while since you've bought any clubs. Let me school you.....

You've found a set that you are almost serious about buying. But, in the back of your head, you really want to fit yourself for a new set of TMs, yet the price is too much to handle......let's say $1200, for fun. The set you're 'thinking' about on FB is probably around $500. So, you have $500, willing to spend. All you really need is $700 for the TMs and migawd, that is so cheap......buy them! $700 is not a lot for brand new, fitted clubs.

HOing 101, as told by Rex. 👍

Man, I suddenly have WAY more $ than I thought. Thanks Rex!

Typhoon

You have some weird math going there Rexy.🤔

Par4QC

Typhoon And a lot of clubs, for some odd reason(ing). 🤣

Subsonic

YOLO. Buy'em!!

sdandrea1 Like Ron Popeil used to say...."It's easy.....once YOU know the difference!!"

shokosugi

That is some weird math Rex, but I kind of get what you are trying to say lol.

As for the OP, buy the set and resell them and put the profits towards your TM irons you can't afford as they will now be more affordable 😁

shokosugi that right there is ho'ing with a purpose...

Luc_Van_Daele

shokosugi buy the set and resell them

Buy two sets for 500$ and sell them both for 600$ so the set you want for 1200$ is payed for.

Good point, tell the wife the contractor sent you a $1200 bill for "extras"

We've gone from ho-ing tips to money laundering. What a forum!!!!!

You only live once. Bite the bullet and get the TM’s at the discount price. A golfer as good as you should get what they want. To not not do so would be another crime. Lol

Anyway TM would barter your demo day time in exchange for the irons?

Typhoon

Sneakylong I’m over it. I just need to stay off Marketplace when I’m bored. I’ll stick with nothing.

Typhoon I have some old Toski heads I can send you. There is no 5i, but you can choke down on the 4. 😅

Par4QC similar to these…

KCee

Eguller If those were originally hardened by age, they must be rocks by now

Eguller "Age" hardened, the best kind. And, they are old, so, even better. 😅
