Trade: who go the good end of the stick?

[Scottt]

Person 1 trades his MP FliHi with Rifle Flighted 5.0 in 7.5/10 condition for Person 2's Odyssey White Hot #5 CS in 7/10 nick and 6 new ProV1s.

Who's the winner, in your opinion?

[adlo]

The guy who ends up with the putter and prov's.

What do i win?

[Scottt]

Oops. Only six new ProVs, actually.

But that person is me. Yep, I thought it was a pretty good deal!

You, Adlo, win a game of golf with me over here*. Accommodation in my spare room provided, flights not included.

















* valid until April 30, 2009.

[Johnny Canuck]

i would say the putter and balls, pretty easily.

[Scottt]

Strange thing was, I listed the FliHi for 25 quid or trade, and the trade offer came from him. I thought it a generous offer!!

Is this another example of you talking big but actually being a cheapskate?? :mrgreen:

[Scottt]

Could be :lol:

Of course any OzGolfer finding themselves in the UK should hit me up for a hit if they want to. I'd be a bit more fussy about who I invited to stay in my house... But of course for DC it's an open bed and breakfast invite!

[adlo]

:lol:

I won't be able to take the offer up. If you were in the US though.....

[Scottt]

Ended up taking his #2 CS in 8/10 nick instead. Very happy with the swap, in any case.

[razaar]

Depends on whether the putter is cursed. Lots of them are.......

[BrisVegas]

the Odyssey is probably fake and/or cursed.

[Scottt]

:lol:

No such thing as cursed putters, only cursed putting strokes!

[PeteyD]

Does it have someone's name on it?

[Scottt]

Only of there is someone kicking around named Odyssey White Hot #2 Centre Shaft

[Dotty]

...and the cycle repeats.
I guess this is going to be replaced by a Marxman. (WITB Dec 07)

ps. Any sign of araldite on the sole of the Odyssey #2 ? :lol:

[Scottt]

That #2 was beat up and heel-shafted :lol: and I still have the Marxman. Present from the good lady, so selling it isn't an option. I'm sure I'll use it again one day...

[Webster]

Scott, aren't you usually more than happy with the rough end of the stick?

[razaar]

That would be the eye end.

[Dotty]

I had a #2CS for a couple of years.

Not bad, get a good pendulum stroke with it. Replaced with a mallet (which was replaced by an Anser).

[Scottt]

So your sledge comes from a position of empathy, then! :lol:

I'm not selling putters anymore. Should have some excess luggage to bring home at the current rate...

[Coffs_Hacker]

does the putter have a "nwrnty" on it anywhere

[Scottt]

Sadly, no. I've always anted to disgrace myself with a caveat emptor rant in a golf forum pro shop, but alas the wait for ammunition continues :lol: just one seamless transaction (even with Jack 8)) after another.

[Dotty]

The cycle comment wasn't the sledge of that post.

Merely a recognition of a trait, common to many fellow Ozgolf posters. (I've been known to get an old club back out of a mate's garage.)

[Scottt]

I did have a chuckle at the aryldite gag. Even my 75yo grandparents were sledging me when I played with them and used that putter/thing :lol:

Joke's on 69er. He bought it off me.

Be careful with that excess baggage thing. My wife and I nearly got hit up for £1000 of excess baggage on our flight home from the UK on Christmas Day 2006. Amazing how much my clubs and all her clothes totalled. :wink:

[Scottt]

Cheers. On the way here, I had my golf bag included in my ticketed allowance, along with me and 23kg of checked baggage, will try to get the same deal going home.

[Scottt]

I am on trading fire! :smt038

Just swapped an 8/10 Adams Idea Pro hybrid w/ VS Proto + £20 for a Neutral Cally FT-5 Tour w/ VS Proto in 8/10 nick.

Bam!!

[adlo]

What I want to know is, are you in this picture?

Trading post boy.

[Scottt]

Nup. I'm the one in the clink! I'm a good kid, I just fell in with the wrong crowd...

What are you trying to say?:smt108

[3oneday]

He wants to boof DC, basically.


He wouldn't be the first, or the last.

[Scottt]

:lol:

[Johnny Canuck]

The winner of the deal is the person with the biggest improvement in their game with the new stick(s). Hopefully everybody wins in a deal.

Scottt, DC could almost fit in your backyard if he came over. You might have to take out a few fence boards so that he could sleep comfortably.

When checking your baggage in, find the nicest looking chick (not hotness, friendliness) and then approach them as the nicest person in the world (not the dickhead that your are). If they want to make you pay extra baggage, tell them that you need to think about your options, leave the line, and try another attendent. Keep repeating this step until you succeed.

[Scottt]

Another great trade this week.

Ping Karsten Anser 2 in 9.5/10 nick for a Mizzy MP-T wedge set, Black Ox 51, 56, 60 in 7.5/10 condition.

Giddy up!
