It was a very rare Scotty Cameron milled putter cover.... Circa Titleist. The seller may or may not have intended to put a reserve, but my winning bid of $39 was far lower than such covers have been demanding. Then... I get an email from the seller... my apologies, I no longer have the cover. Intended to remove the listing but forgot.
So he offers me a different one for the same winning bid, and shows me where it has sold for $125. I see that, but I also see where it has sold for much less because it's not particularly hard to find. Plus it says Titleist on it and my purpose was to have a non Titilist for my new Scotty Mizuno.
I settled for the one below, which is comparable in rarity, looks nice, but still has Titleist embroidered on it. I'll use it for my Newport and keep looking.
This makes the 2nd time I've had a low winning bid on something of obvious more value, now and in the future, and had a seller come back with he no longer has it. The Bay can be a real hassle sometimes. Unfortunately, you have no choice but to accept their word... still, they get pretty P.Oed over getting a bad review... especially when they've been carrying 100%. That's important to most sellers.
~Sigh!
