What item(s) do you refuse to buy on the BST?

[Cwing]

New withOUT tags underwear.... you live and learn that lesson....

 

Or socks. Used or new w/out tag socks are taboo for me.

[PeanutsDaddy]

Seems a pair of feet pop up from time to time. I'm not buying them.

[Whiskey_fire]

Zero chance of buying any item of clothing or shoes.

Surprising to read that there are people here on a golf/ golf equipment forum, populated by equipment junkies, that wouldn't buy something on the BST that was built by an "amateur". I mean, building clubs at a hobby level isn't rocket science - if you can work a tape measure, utility knife, and glue, you posses most of the skills you'll need to build a golf club successfully.

 

And, I don't buy non-stock stuff on the BST and expect a blueprinted, professional, tour van-level build. I assume that 90% of the non-stock stuff on the BST was done by some dude in his garage. If something failed on a club because of shoddy workmanship, I'd sure as hell hope the seller would "make it right", within a reasonable timeframe. I mean, there's no guarantee that 3 year old stock driver, all work done by the manufacturer, couldn't have a head come loose or something. Screws fall out all the time. The world is an imperfect place.

 

I bought a used set of irons that were reshafted by someone who sold them to the party I bought them from. The 8, 9, and PW were about a half inch shorter than they were supposed to be and 3 of the heads came loose. I'm now very hesitant to purchase anything built by someone that isn't a professional.

If you want to waste 90 minutes of your life that you'll never get back....grab a big bag of popcorn and read the below thread.

It's so hard to not leave ad/topic when OP can't do a little cropping to get his feet out of the picture with putter for sale....

I won't buy used wedges. The one club where I feel like use actually wears the club out. I want to be the first one to make a wear spot on my wedges.

[TheSphynx]

I won’t buy clothing when the seller says “only worn a few times but never washedâ€... ummm how the f*** is it a selling point that your sweat and body odor haven’t been washed out of clothing ???

[sheldonjhacker]

I never really thought about it, but for me it would likely be a gift card. Too much risk.

Huh? Trust the seller. It's a gift card with a defined value ! :wave:

[Underhill83]

Used underwear is generally a no-go for me.

[Smooth spin scott]

Definitely wedges unless brand new...love ripping the cover off new Prov s 1st round with a new wedge!

[BYK]

used shoes

[Northsider]

K-Sigs

[95124hacker]

Someone’s Playboy, Penthouse or Hustler magazine collection. Enough said!

[player922000]

I won’t buy driver heads simultaneously for sale on eBay auction when the seller can’t tell the difference between the 2 sites

[shopboynj78]

A year ago, purchased a pants that the seller noted “New Without Tag”, but I can definitely tell the pants were used.

I didn’t create a fuss over $40 & threw it out.

Just learned my lesson & won’t ever be buying even items described as NWOT, clothing or shoes

I've bought several gifts cards. Not really any more risk than any other item if you pay with PayPal. If the gift card isn't as you expect, you'd just file a claim like you would if you bought a club. I've had zero issues tho. Usually if I'm buying a gift card, I already know what in using it for and I'll spend it right away.

[StarFleetGolfer]

Shoes, someone currently has some very dirty white ones on bst.

[mckennwa]

A shaft that has had the tip changed or installed by a non OEM.

[DatSliceDoe]

Shoes, heavily worn items (clubs, clothes, bags) or things with initials/stampings.

I lol'ed, anyways, I won't buy new decade grips off this site no matter how tempting the deal is.

[Gdashoff]

I'm cheap and still pretty terrible at golf so anything that says PXG or Tour. Also anything that says Scotty, I just don't understand, maybe someday.

[Nessism]

If anyone has a pair of "used one time" Footjoy Dryjoy Tour 9.5 wide shoes for cheap drop me a PM. I got a set from here for $50 one time and count them as one of my better purchases.

I'd never buy a kidney on the BST. You just never know where it's been.

It would only be worse if you were buying someone’s brothers kidney. And for heaven’s sake, do not pay via F&F...

Priceless.

 

Now, I would buy a Kirkland Signature kidney from Costco...along with golf balls, wine and of course, 900 pounds of beef short ribs for $17.00.

With all appropriate respect, if he makes the same offer to you, make sure he's gets the Anesthesia first.

In other words, none right
