Chance of a lifetime? My ass!

I'll throw in a bid for $33.51 Collector shafts? Maybe, but you gotta play 'em.

[IrishGolfer]

Any guesses what this will go for?

$250? Anyone know the RRP?

[demon]

Its currently 280.00

Did you get an email from true temper as well on this? I wouldnt buy this, it is coming out soon after the auction is over.

I think MG should grab it for his FT-i.

Retail is $17USD.

It's a promotional thing, nothing more. The certificate of authenticty will assure that it will never be bagged.

It's sorta like Mizzy and the Mp-100's. Nobody's gonna play a set of irons like that. Collectable only. Which I think is horseshit, personally.

Are you sure about the price on the epic? I thought it was going to be 130ish?

$17 is cheap. Those Mizzy's were kind of stupid when you think about it. Not like they were all that "expensive" for a collectible set. Every single iron set I would consider purchasing/playing costs at least $200-$300 more than those went for.

Personally if I was going to spend that money... I'd look for a used Ozik TP-7. Maybe a Creation to boot by the time that thing ends.

That was a mistake on Golfsmiths part. It will retail for $170-$175.

That shaft on e-bay will sell for over a grand IMO. Talk about stupid.

[Rockford35]

Thanks Demon, my bad. $175.

Fairways are gonna be $130.


Try and buy the first of anything. It's always worth more as a collectable than as a useful item, forsurely.

what a load of bollocks

Wouldn't be a bit surprised if graffalloy wasn't bidding it up themselves to boost the hype.

The graphics on that shaft look like something I would paint on a lowrider.

Or you can wait a month for the price to be about 100$ at most
