Golf Club Replicas or Authentic

Does anyone know of a good dropshipper that sells real or replica golf clubs?

Thats a bid business, meaning huge profit margins
Ex: I buy for $100.00 flip for $700+ within 3 days.

If you dont mind me asking where did you find your wholesaler or replica maker from? Alibaba, tradekey, other?

I had heard that the actual replicas are pretty much the exact thing, and when I asked a golf pro I know who now teaches golf he said that for a modest player (like me) you would never know the difference and it is actually smarter in some cases to buy a replica club. Who knows the replicas may be made in the same factory as the real ones.

Trust me, no beginner could tell the difference.

You can find a person on alibaba but be careful alot of people are trying to make a quick buck.

Have you ever tried looking on tradekey?

it doesnt matter where you buy it from as long as you do it the right way and your safe, always pay with paypal

Any other advice?

**TheChronicles** · #10 (**permalink**) 08-20-2008, 08:14 PM

are you looking to resell or use it for personal use?

**exodusms** · #11 (**permalink**) 08-20-2008, 08:18 PM

First personal use, then to resell.Well then again probably mostly for personal use. I dont plan on selling much of any except for maybe to friends etc.

To be quiet honest, I have been in the import business for over 6 years, and 99% of all chinese manufacturers are honest! They will never rob you, instead they prefer to cheat you and tell you something is authentic. Now we all know that nothing authentic can be imported, it has become harder and harder to import name brand replicas. You simply can't order 100 units and expect them to pass customs, and if they do, damn you lucky. Once you get black listed with customs, nothing will come through without being checked, so be careful. If you intend on purchasing below 15kg or below 30 pounds, then go for it, other wise make sure you use EMS which is USPS.

By the way, I have never ever used paypal with any of my Chinese manufacturers or dealers. it is simply NOT going to speed the process and knock on wood, I have never been screwed with any Chinese manufacturer, and i have dealt with well over 50 thus far!

I beg to differ, i have been importing for 10+ years
I have been in every possible position. I never stated that the chinese would rob you, i just said becareful because there ARE people out there that are trying to make a quick buck.
