Seller info

After being a golf trainee (aspiring pro), I became the manager of a major golf shop and now run my own shop independently. If there are any issues upon arrival, I will address them, so please contact me. I strive for smooth transactions, so thank you! Here's a warning to everyone from a pro's perspective, having been a golf shop manager. Golf sets listed on Mercari are often of poor quality, assembled haphazardly by amateurs or resellers, or put together by unscrupulous dealers solely for profit. If you bid on a set, consult someone knowledgeable about golf and have them thoroughly check it upon arrival! I used to purchase cheap clubs on Mercari and Yahoo Auctions as inventory, but I stopped because there were too many fakes and defective products like dents. I understand that some sellers may not realize it, but many are knowingly selling these items. The reason Mercari is targeted by these unscrupulous dealers is the rating system. If you don't notice damage or fakes upon receipt and give a good rating, the rating cannot be changed even if you report it to the administration. If damage is discovered upon arrival, they can quickly apologize and refund to avoid a bad rating. In other words, they target beginners who are less likely to notice damage and sell at high prices. Be especially careful with sets, as they have many clubs, and it's easy to miss damage upon arrival. Furthermore, unscrupulous dealers list sets with mismatched flexes, poorly balanced sets, sets that are only polished to look good but are unusable in terms of performance, sets that blatantly lie about the list price to sell cheaper models at a higher price, and sets that mix in other brands without explanation to make it seem like the brands match! Recently, there has been an increase in sets that include fakes! Because sophisticated fakes are easily available, many are circulating! It's very difficult for amateurs to identify sophisticated fakes, so you should avoid sellers who list even one unbalanced set as described above. Someone with even a little knowledge of golf would never sell a set with mismatched flexes. Such sellers have no conscience and are likely dealing in fakes. Moreover, they often mix genuine and fake clubs to make it difficult to tell! Beginners tend to blame their own skills even if they can't hit the ball well, and they don't notice the fakes, so please be very careful!
