Used golf bags in the US typically sell for $27 to $160. Golf bags are judged on the dividers and the strap, since those are what fail and what buyers test.

Selling a golf bag in the US
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the dividers are intact full length
- Run every pocket zip
Getting it ready
- Check both shoulder straps, the stand mechanism if it has one, and every zip.
- Empty every pocket, clean the base, and check the legs retract properly.

Type, dividers and brand: “Ping Hoofer Stand Bag, 14 Way Divider, 4 Pockets”. Divider count is a genuine search term. Say cart bag, stand bag or carry bag — those suit entirely different golfers.
March through August, peaking in spring. Recognised brands sell within days in season; off-season listings wait.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $162 a buyer pays is the $162 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a golf bag in the US?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
How many dividers does it have?
Count them and say whether they run the full length. Full-length dividers stop clubs tangling and buyers filter on it.
Does the type of bag matter?
Yes. State whether it is a carry, cart or tour bag, since they suit completely different buyers.
Are the pockets important?
Buyers check every zip. A bag with failed pocket zips is much harder to sell.
