Who determines a fair trade-in value for my customer? A.
You do! Start by referencing the PGA.com Value Guide for the Low, Mid and High trade-in value range for the specific golf club model(s). If web access is not available or convenient, simply print out a hard copy of the Liquidation values from your PGA Trade-In Network account. The Liquidation values are the MID trade-in values from the PGA.com Value Guide. Inspect the golf club(s) to ensure they meet the minimum condition criteria as detailed on the Condition Grading Assistant. If the golf club(s) qualifies, make a fair offer to the customer. Many facilities are simply offering the MID-trade-in value, as this is what you are guaranteed via liquidation. Other facilities, however, determine the fair trade-in value on a case by case basis. Q. How will accepting trade-ins help my business? A. PGA Professionals who accept used golf club trade-ins can grow their new, in-line golf club sales, as well as deliver higher levels of customer service.
