x-14 issue

[sidvicious]

mates,

i'm a new golfer, and purchased a used set of decent condition x-14s. i played through the summer and was going to have them reconditioned over the fall.

at the same time i hit a set of nike slingshots and decided to by them given the quality/price. when the sales person asked about my regular set i told him about my x-14s. a guy in the store overheard, and thought i wanted to sell them and asked what i wanted. toying with him a bit, i said $600, and to my surprise he eagerly agreed. [i only paid $300 for 3-9 and the three wedges].

the salesman then told me that the guy specializes in used callaway gear, and especially x-14s, and that the x-14 has the reputation of being the consentual best set of clubs ever, and that i should not sell them. he said he'd be happy to trade and that he'd give me the nikes plus some change, but that i shouldn't sell the set.

what about all this? is this for real or merely hyperbole?

DO IT

man, thats ridiculous, the x-14s arent worth nearly 600, and if you can get the nikes and change and like the slingshots, by all means take it up

how much were you going to pay for the Slingshots?

do whatever will get you the best amount of money

right under $400. i'm told that nike is coming out with a slew of new slingshot models. he was going to give me the slingshots [steel shafts - i don't like graphite] and about $35 to boot for the x-14s.

i figured he must've known of a fanatic, including the other guy in the store.

I sold a set today with graphite shafts and they were new except the 7 iron had been hit a couple of times for $299.95.

The callaway is a goos set but they made a lot of these so I would have sold them for 600 and bought the slingshots for $350 and pocketed the rest.
