They still sell new for $300. That's a good buy on a great driver.

You can search "completed listings" within eBay to get a benchmark. I took a quick look and many have gone in the 170 to 180 dollar range (US). Appeared that the shaft affected the final bid. I do not know the Canadian exchange rate but it sounds like a good deal.

Money wise, pretty good, but you should make sure you like it before you buy it.

Anyone that hates the G5 is a little batty. They are great drivers.

Unless it isn't the right specs for your swing and then even the G5 can suck arse!

Yup, that's true with any driver. Gotta get it fit to you.
