Looking for second-hand golf equipment?

Most golfers shop for second-hand golf equipment to save money. OGGA offers another way: online auctions of golf clubs and gear that are mostly brand new, where the winning bid sets the price.

Instead of taking a chance on a used set, you can bid on new equipment, see the exact item in the photos, and decide the most you are willing to pay.

How condition works on OGGA

Every lot carries a condition label. "New" means unused stock. The rare pre-owned lot is scored out of 10 and described honestly, and the gallery shows the actual club, not a catalogue picture.

If a lot arrives damaged or materially different from its description, contact us within 7 days of receiving it and we will put it right, as the Consumer Protection Act requires.

What to check when buying used golf clubs

If you do buy second-hand golf clubs anywhere, check these before you pay:

  • Grooves on irons and wedges: worn grooves reduce spin, especially from the rough.
  • Clubface and crown on drivers and woods: look for dents, cracks and sky marks.
  • Shaft: no dents, rust or bends, and the flex (regular, stiff, senior) matches your swing.
  • Grips: worn or shiny grips need replacing, which adds to the cost of every club.
  • Ferrule and hosel: a cracked or loose ferrule can mean the head has been re-glued.
  • Authenticity: counterfeit clubs exist, so buy from a seller you can hold to account.

How OGGA auctions work

  • Each auction runs for 3 to 4 days and carries 30 to 50 lots, with a single closing time for every lot.
  • Register free with your name, email address and mobile number, then verify your email. Add your residential address before your first bid, as South African law (FICA) requires.
  • Bid any amount at or above the minimum next bid shown on the lot. Every bid is binding.
  • A bid placed in the final 2 minutes extends that lot by 2 minutes, so nobody can win by sniping in the last second.
  • When the auction closes, the highest bid that meets any reserve wins. You get one invoice for everything you won in that auction.
  • Log in to ogga.co.za to pay by card or EFT through Paystack. We never email payment links.

Frequently asked questions

Does OGGA sell second-hand golf equipment?

Most of the golf equipment on OGGA is brand new. The occasional pre-owned lot is clearly labelled with a condition score out of 10, so you always know what you are bidding on.

Is buying golf clubs at auction cheaper than buying second-hand?

The price is set by bidding, so it depends on demand for each lot. You decide the most you are willing to pay and never pay more than your own winning bid, plus one courier fee per invoice if you choose delivery.

What should I check when buying used golf clubs?

Check the grooves on irons and wedges, the clubface and crown on woods for dents or cracks, the shaft for damage and the right flex, the condition of the grips, the ferrule for cracks, and that the club is genuine.

How do I know what condition a golf lot is in?

Every lot states its condition, "New" or a score out of 10, and the photos show the exact item. The description lists anything you should know before you bid.

Can I return golf equipment bought at auction?

A change of mind is not a reason to return an auction purchase. If a lot arrives damaged, defective or materially different from its description, contact us within 7 days and we will repair, replace or refund it as the Consumer Protection Act requires.
