I am moving to Canada and getting rid of some things, and came across some old god clubs of my fathers. He passed away a few years ago so I don’t know how old they are but a few years at least, I have googled for hours to no avail…. I want to sell them, but have no idea how much I should let them go for. A little bit about them: Bought from Dick’s for $699. These have been used but are in good condition. there are seven in total, numbered 3-9 and one that says pw. they also say ‘rowlings’ on the clubs and the packaging says ‘Odyssey’ and ;Steelhead plus’. The box they are in says callaway. On the heads they say ‘tour R magnum oversize’ the paint on the heads is orange and the letter printing is in black. I don’t have a photo, sorry, The packaging also says ‘carlsbad series’ can you tell me about them, what terms I should use to sell on craigslist, and around how much I should sell them for? I am utterly clueless about golf!
Well, the box info and the actual clubs are 2 different things.
I believe you meant “Rawlings” not “Rowlings”, so if I am incorrect, please advise.
Unfortunately the Rawlings clubs do not have much value at all, as they are not considered to be quality clubs. If they were the Callaway and Odyssey clubs that were in the original packaging, you’d have a more valuable set of clubs. In fact, the PGA Value Guide does not list any Rawlings.
If I am incorrect, you could post some clear pictures of the clubs on a site like photobucket.com and provide a link here so the clubs can be better identified.
Sorry, buddy…dear old Dad, left you a $70 set of irons. Look at PGA Value Guide online…if they list, Rawlings, which I just looked….they don’t. My guess…$40-$70…worth more sentimentally…keep them, for Dad.
rawlings sporting goods. major supplier of baseball equipment world wide. tried in the mid 1990s to enter mid range price market golf clubs. this venture lasted 3 years. started out in major sporting goods stores. finished on the shelves of wal-mart. department stores. they were good clubs. but to sell. would be difficult if not impossible. you do have their highest line. very outdated. for complete set you would do extremely well at 60 dollars. also poor time of year to sell. best option flea market. best solution please keep them out of respect for your father. the memories of looking at them remembering how much your father loved the game. like mastercard says priceless. memories cannot be bought. all the best
