Good, just a little pricey on shipping.

noticed that - but planning to buy a few clubs so it evens out a little....

[Matt1979]

Only the once, they were fine.

thanks - will give probably give them a go on the weekend -- when I figure out how much I can spend without getting in trouble

Good, just a little pricey on shipping.

They can be, sometimes ridiculously so on eBay. Though their postage calculator is not as bad as it used to be. I actually have a fair bit of gear on its way from 2nd Swing's eBay store as the moment, and the shipping costs were actually very good. They offer $2.99 additional shipping on a lot of their items, so it can pay to buy in bulk. The only issue I encountered was the cart wasn't working properly and I couldn't add all the items I wanted, so ended up with 2 orders and had to pay a little extra. I am assuming that is an eBay issue though, not specifically 2nd Swing?

On Ebay you just need to double check the additional items qualify for the $2.99 shipping offer, most items seem to, but it seems the odd one doesn't. Oh and 2nd Swing on eBay often have make an offer open for their items, I used that for a lot of the items I bought and saved a fair bit on asking prices (probably another 15 to 20%) on items that were already on special.

I don't think I have used their direct store, so can't comment on it.

Daves, do they ship Fedex still?

Seems to be all USPS now. I will post on how long it takes when they arrive, hopefully next week.

Edit, I just looked at a few items I have in my watchlist, and they do have Fedex listed, but very pricey.

Some pretty good prices here. Esp the older models.

[3oneday]

He's legit, fair prices too. He buys from the USA.

Off topic, but does anyone have anywhere in particular they buy basketball boots / shoes from?

Gf's brother gets lots of stuff from eastbay.com. He has more shoes than Imelda Marcos

[AndyP]

Eastbay is a good goto for sports shoes.

[BenM]

I've bought mine from EastBay too!

[BayBum]

Eastbay & Sneakerhead also, FedEx shipping with Sneakerhead is a plus.

[LeftyHoges]

Cheers guys.

Can I just say that Nike have an absolutely ridiculous amount of shoes out.

They outnumber everyone else 3 to 1.

And that sucks.

You making a come back?

[LeftyHoges]

You making a come back?

Yep. Portland Div 2 won't know what hit it.

If I can stop back-chatting the umpires I might even be unbackable fave for the B&F.

Love the come back, the beer out of the boot in the stadium car park after the game is the best bit.

Good luck

Agreed. Didn't realise the pros did that too.

The hardest part is picking the shoes....

Not a fan of red but that's the colour of my team so they're in there.

Go the old school Jordan 5's. I loved them shoes

[spanner039]

Any fear you could be seen as a bit of a tosser if you color coordinate your boots? potential target that's all. Red singlet, boots and hair might be a bit much.

Unlike golf of course where you would look just spiffy.

Have never and will never own any Nike products. (Barring the Arsenal shirt I bought begrudgingly, so glad they're now with Puma!)

[spanner039]

Go retro - Pony or Pro Ked

Bashed for sure

Very fair point Cam (bar the hair ), think they'll be off the list soon.

I'm heavily leaning towards the black and lime green top left.

Mates don't let mates drink and drive nor take to the court looking rediculous

Go the black and green brings out your eyes
