An interesting ebay find

[NRJyzr]

Yesterday, scored myself what I am terming an interesting find on the sludge pool that is ebay.

A new, unhit, MacGregor persimmon, from the 80s.  Apparently won by the seller's father at a country club tournament, and just packed away.

A couple blurry pics from the auction:

Nice!  Let us know how it flies.

We need an interesting EBay stuff thread. I was bidding on an oversized Bobby Grace MacGregor belly putter that I've never seen before. Rye, DrewSpin and I always email each other good looking old iron sets. We need a thread.

In the spirit of old iron sets, here's my recent acquisition (thanks for the heads up Drew!):

These should be firmly in the bag for the Persimmon Classic.

Those are Dead Sexy.

Whoa....I think I just sprained my finger rolling through those pics.  Wow.   

[Richard Nixon]

I have irons to bring to the Persimmon Classic, but my eyes are open for something greater and better.

Size 10.5 anyone?

Those look awesome!  Think Sofspikes will fit into them?

Yes!  All the old metal spikes were the same thread size, and they make softspikes that fit them.

They are SMOKIN'

Yeah, but a little small and a bit pricey.  Especially when you can have these for the same amount:

I bet those vintage palmers close under $70.00


Or these:

Those are awesome.  Do you think they do some custom glass heels w/fish in them?

I'm relatively sure the same Co. makes shoes for Miguel Angle Jimenez...

The auction I really wanted to win, and screwed up on, was this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290248037121

I'm getting some entertainment out of the assorted wound balls out there on ebay.  Even saw some Slazengers and Bridgestone Rextar balatas.  The guy who wants essentially $40/dozen for Titleist Professionals makes me LOL, though.

I hope one of you guys bought these,

I'm gonna cry if it wasn't

That guy has four more sets. He'll sell them for $150.00 BuyItNow. Geekoman warned me against them, saying it wasn't worth it for that price. (Trust me, I've looked.)

TG-898s aren't bad, but they aren't worth $150, since it wasn't that long ago they were being blown out by a liquidation site for a lot less.

The original sets were better, but some of the ones you see now are just random heads thrown together; nothing remotely close to sorted.  Or so is the word I've heard (take it fwiw). 

Still prefer the Goldens, I admit.

Thanks Sam, i let a rechromed set go here in the UK today too. Loving my J33bs and if i feel oldschool i've always got a set of Aussie Blades.

Here's the auction: Sam Snead Blue Ridges, my original set of clubs.

So go figure that it is two damned weeks before my girlfriend or I have any money. This guy couldn't have waited another two weeks until I was financially strong enough to win the bidding? It's as if he didn't know I was out there, looking for this exact set.

I can snag them up for you if you'd like some help with that.

These shoes(which is only one of the brands that Stewart wore along with Footjoy Classics and Par West Custom) are made by Vecci, a custom shoe maker from Italy.

Jimenez wears Nebuloni Shoes, also from Italy.

There's a seller on Ebay that gets them direct from the factory and has them at $460 a pair:

Or you can get lucky with a lightly used pair of the classic black wingtip for $80 if you happen to wear size 13.

Thanks for the info. 

I'm quite impressed with your intimate knowledge of Italian custom golf shoe makers.  An insider among us here at GD....?

Does that say John Deere under the 150th anniversary ?

Nope, just a guy with major foot problems.  I've looked at probably every brand out there trying to find something comfortable.  For awhile I was getting custom shoes in the hopes that they would be better, but they didn't particularly help...though they did look nice.
