Rumours are they will have another Blow Out- tuck the GCs away.

Shopping retail hasn't been the same for me since I started on eBay - close to 7 years ago.
But yeah, the NB sale was great :D

I'm with you on this one. I've had some amazing luck on eBay over the past couple of years. Just an example: I got my Srixon staff bag (retail priced at TGW for $269 at the time)and a pair of Adams GT2 fairwoods (priced for $75 each at TGW) about a year ago for $140 including shipping. I'm fortunate to have a post office box in Niagara Falls because I go to Buffalo several times a year so I just had them shipped there. Gotta love eBay!

My parents have a winter house in Texas - they often come back in the spring with more WAY more clubs than they went down with :rofl: I buy them new stuff to try all the time as well so they don't mind...

Yes...shopping on EBay can yield some real deals...just got a set of Bose QC3 headphones for $310US with shipping. Had them sent to my brother in law in LA...he then sent to me...with exchange and additional shipping it netted out at $340CDN.
These cost $399+tax in Canada.

Yes, Yes, Yes....I too have GiftCards burning a hole in my pocket, but I'm waiting for better prices...the 'rumoured' Sale can't happen fast enough! How about a "Family Day Sale" on Feb. 15 to 'celebrate' the New Holiday in Canada...most of us will be OFF WORK that day!!!? :)

Ummm, isn't it the first Monday in Feb. Your thinking Flag Day which is a working day.

Hey BS,
The new Holiday: Family Day is for Ontario and is February 18th. It is also celebrated in a few other provinces
Good shopping....

Apologies, your right it is the 18th! I looked it up. I guess that wipes out any discussion about Flag Day ever being a holiday which is the 15th of Feb.
