Golf Shirt Brands that Sell the Best

I have been selling lots of golf shirts on eBay since reading the great little ebook by fellow seller Suzanne Wells, aka the eBay Selling Coach. (You can get your copy here - it's a great investment for little up-front cost, imo!)

So I wanted to share what I've learned so far as to which brands sell the best. At least, in my experience.

#1 Fairway and Greene

For whatever reason, this brand sells like...well, hotcakes. And other cliches. For some other unknown reason, I kept finding pristine shirts of this brand, many still with tags, at my local thrift store. They sold early and often.

The ones I've found have been in the synthetic "moisture-wicking" fabric. People seem to love it, and it looks nice and light. Here's an example of one I sold a little while ago:

#2 Bobby Jones

This brand has the little old-fashioned golfer guy on the placket.  It tends to come in fun bright colors. Personally they are some of my favorite shirts. Here is a recent sale:

#3 would be Greg Norman. His shirts have the little shark logo on one sleeve.

After that, I have done best with anything with an alcohol brand on the chest or sleeve. What can I say, beer and booze emblems sell!

Also good have been Izod, Tommy Hilfiger, and Grand Slam. I would like to find some Pings, but no dice.

And the holy grail green Masters Augusta National shirt? I found only one so far. But one can dream. (It looked like it had seen some hard livin', but it still sold, as Suzanne said it would).

Happy golf (shirt)-ing!
