Sell Your Used Golf Clubs — 0% Fees

Used golf clubs typically sell for £50 to £400, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Golf clubs sell on model and specification, not on how shiny they are, so the useful details are shaft flex, hand and loft — the things every golfer checks and most sellers omit.

The short version

Typical range: £50 – £400 — see the full golf clubs value guide
What decides your price: condition, and how well you evidence it in photographs
Cost to sell here: nothing, at any price

Before you photograph it

Ten minutes here is worth more than anything else you will do. Buyers are deciding between your listing and someone else’s, and preparation is what visibly separates the two.

Identify each club: brand, model, loft, shaft material and flex. This is printed on the shaft band or the head.
Clean the grooves with a brush and check the grips for hardening or shine, since worn grips are an immediate deduction.
Confirm whether the set is right or left handed, and count exactly which clubs are present.

The photographs that sell golf clubs

Four photographs do almost all the work. Shoot in daylight, near a window, with the item against something plain — and do not use the flash, which flattens texture and hides exactly what buyers are trying to see.

The full set laid out in order, heads visible
The clubface of an iron and the driver, showing groove wear
The shaft bands showing flex and model
The grips close up, plus the bag and headcovers included

Photograph the flaws too. It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover. Buyers who can see the damage stop imagining something worse.

Writing the title and description

Brand, model, hand and flex: “Callaway Rogue Irons 5-PW, Regular Flex, Right Handed”. Golfers search by model and will not consider a set without knowing the hand and flex, so leaving them out costs you most of your audience. State exactly which clubs the set contains rather than saying “full set”.

Then state these in the description, because a buyer who has to ask is a buyer who might not bother:

Exact clubs included, by number and type
Right or left handed
Shaft material and flex: regular, stiff, senior or ladies
Grip condition, and whether a bag and headcovers are included

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about golf clubs. Answering them in the listing itself removes the back-and-forth, and answering them well when they do arrive is what turns an enquiry into a sale.

“What flex are the shafts?”

Read the shaft band and say. Flex is as important as size in clothing — a golfer with the wrong flex simply cannot use the club.

“Are they right or left handed?”

Answer immediately and put it in the title. Left-handed sets are scarcer and often sell for more, so it works in your favour.

“How worn are the grips?”

Photograph them. Regripping is cheap and routine, so honest wear rarely loses the sale, but a surprise on collection will.

Pricing it so it actually sells

Start from the honest condition grade rather than the price you hope for. WishThrift listings use five grades — New with Tags, Like New, Good, Fair and For Parts — and what each grade means is worth reading before you choose, because grading up is the most expensive mistake sellers make. It does not raise the price; it produces a buyer who arrives expecting something else.

The golf clubs value guide prices all five grades for this item. Pick your grade, take the figure, and if you sit between two grades price toward the lower one. Items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully, and on a free platform there is no fee eating the difference anyway.

What you keep, compared

On a £225 sale — roughly the middle of the range for golf clubs — here is what the commission-charging platforms would take, and what you would keep on each:

Where you sell it	Fee	You keep
WishThrift	£0	£225
Poshmark	−£45	£180
eBay	−£31	£194
Mercari	−£22	£203
Etsy	−£15	£210

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026 — Poshmark: 20% commission on sales of $15 and above; eBay: 13.6% final value fee, plus a per-order fee; Mercari: flat 10% selling fee; Etsy: 6.5% transaction fee, plus a listing fee and payment processing. Percentages are applied to the sterling figure above; the fixed per-order and processing charges those platforms add are quoted in their own currency and are not included here, so the real deductions are slightly larger. Full breakdown: marketplace selling fees compared.

Timing and getting it to the buyer

Strongly seasonal: March through August is the window, with spring the peak. Selling a set in December usually means accepting substantially less.

Awkward to post and expensive, so most sets sell for collection. If posting, a hard case is essential and the buyer should expect a courier surcharge for the length.

WishThrift does not process payments or arrange delivery — you and the buyer agree both directly — so confirm payment has cleared before the item leaves your hands, and keep the conversation on the site so there is a record of what was agreed.

Frequently asked questions

What are used golf clubs worth?

Usually £50 to £400 for a set, depending on brand, age and completeness. Recent models from major brands hold value well. See the golf clubs value guide.

Should I regrip clubs before selling?

Generally not. Regripping a full set costs more than it adds, and many buyers prefer to choose their own grips. Photograph the current grips honestly instead.

Is it better to sell clubs as a set or individually?

Sets sell faster and with less hassle; individual premium clubs, particularly drivers and putters, often total more but take longer and mean more messages. If the set is matched, sell it together.
