SAN DIEGO, California — For the seasoned golfer, the garage is often a “graveyard” of dead capital—hundreds or thousands of dollars in high-end drivers and iron sets that didn’t quite make the cut, now gathering dust.
ClubBuyer, the logistics powerhouse within the Golfstix ecosystem, is officially ending the era of resale friction with the launch of its “Door-to-Payment” trade-in technology, making it the fastest and easiest way to sell golf clubs.
“The biggest hurdle in the $10B secondary market isn’t finding a buyer for your clubs—it’s finding a box,” says Steve Cox, Founder of Golfstix. “ClubBuyer has eliminated this friction by offering a white-glove shipping solution. For any transaction over $100, ClubBuyer dispatches custom-engineered packaging directly to the user’s doorstep.
“By bringing the pro-shop trade-in experience to the golfer’s front door, ClubBuyer has turned a fragmented headache into a three-click “cash for clubs” solution.”
ClubBuyer operates like a high-frequency trading desk for gear. Its proprietary pricing engine aggregates real-time market data to provide instant, guaranteed offers on everything from Titleist’s newest lineup of drivers to your grandfather’s most prized antique flat stick.
Payouts are issued via instant-pay rails like Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal, ensuring “same-day settlement” for your equipment.
ClubBuyer introduces the industry’s first “Dual-Channel” exit strategy for sellers. Through its integration with the Golfstix Marketplace, sellers no longer have to choose between speed and value:
- Instant Offer: Accept a guaranteed cash offer for immediate payout.
- Market Maximization: Seamlessly bridge to the Golfstix marketplace to sell directly to a high-intent audience for a higher return.
This isn’t just for the club junkie; it’s a B2B utility for golf courses, fitters, and retailers. Leaders like The Tour Van and Pure Drive Golf use the ClubBuyer white-label solution to liquidate returns, demos, and customer trade-ins with ease.
The Partner Program boasts free shipping on all orders and flexible payment options – including store credit to maximize pro shop sales or instant cash payments. “They provided a scalable solution for our excess inventory that consistently outpaced industry quotes,” says Jason Werner of The Tour Van.
Positioned for growth as golf participation reaches all-time highs, ClubBuyer is currently expanding its Partner Program network and seeking strategic investment to scale its national logistics footprint and further integrate its data-driven valuation tools into the broader retail landscape.
