Used golf clubs in the US typically sell for $67 to $540. Clubs sell as sets and as individuals, and knowing which way round yours are worth more is most of the decision.

Selling golf clubs 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.
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify the exact model and shaft flex from the shaft band
- Price the set and the individual clubs separately before deciding
Getting it ready
- 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.

Put in the description
- Shaft material and flex: regular, stiff, senior or ladies
- Grip condition, and whether a bag and headcovers are included
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”.
Strongly seasonal: March through August is the window, with spring the peak. Selling a set in December usually means accepting substantially less.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $538 a buyer pays is the $538 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 golf clubs 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.
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.
Should I regrip clubs before selling?
Often worth it. Grips are inexpensive and worn ones are the first thing a buyer touches, so they affect the impression disproportionately.
Is it better to sell clubs as a set or individually?
Complete matched sets sell faster; premium individual clubs like drivers and putters often raise more sold separately.
