IMO that is not a good deal. Saw this on 3balls at $349 Used while the PGA Value site listed it at $200.

Now considering it is a LEFTY does add to the scarcity (and thus cost) of the club.

I think a decent price would be in the neighborhood of $235 to $275 range with free or deeply discounted shipping.

Thanks, KT, for the PGA value advice. I was looking for the site and couldn't quite figure it out. Cheers

Thanks KT, for your kind inputs..

Actually, the PGA value website lists the trade-in price for the BB43 as USD$200, but the resale value at about USD$334. I don't think the trade-in value is the most ideal reference for us, since this is the price at which a retailer will buy your used club for the purpose of reselling.

Then again, the resale value is simply an average of all the transactions done on ebay, which reflects the market's perceived value of the item.

Back to the original question.. is the item brand new? Is it priced higher than it's original price? From the pics i'm guessing it's a retail model, and i don't think they were that expensive when they were first launched right?

Maybe you wanna wait for the November launch of the new retail line, priced at USD$275. The BB26 looks quite similar to the BB43 - except it's black and doesn't have the inserts. Studio B line also coming out later will be USD$375.

Hi Solarpop, thanks for sharing your esteemed views...
