ShankMeister is a privately owned company that does not believe in taking a commission from individuals who want to sell their personal property.  We believe you should profit from the items you have bought in the past.  We only charge a small listing fee to post an item and a minimal processing fee for purhcased items.  Our business plan is based on the old newspaper model: classified ads and advertisers.  The size of our company is modest but our vision is large -- spread the love of golf.  And this is because there's more to golf than just golf! 

As the famous golfer Peter Jacobsen once said, "One of the most fascinating things about golf is how it reflects the cycle of life. No matter what you shoot - the next day you have to go back to the first tee and begin all over again and make yourself into something."  ShankMeister believes that everyone deserves "this shot," regardless of golf club pricings.

The owner of ShankMeister -- Drew Hester -- started taking note of how many conversations he would have with individuals wherein they would volunteer the following comments:

       -- "I would love to take up golfing... but the equipment is so expensive."

       -- "I bought my club five years ago and the technology has changed so much... it's just too expensive to buy new clubs."

       -- "I have a garage full of golf clubs... they're going to waste.  I wish it was simple to sell them so others can experience the love of the game like I do."

       -- "I worked hard to buy my clubs... I'd sell them at an online marketplace but I'm frustrated thinking about why I have to pay a commission to sell my own stuff."

       -- "I'd love to sell my old golf clubs.... but I'm not sure if I'd be willing to ship them.  Can you make it somehow so that the Buyer and Seller can meet in person?"

       --  "I'd do anything to find a replicate of my favorite club I had in college."

       --  "I'd love to buy affordable, good quality used golf clubs... but I'd have to swing them before I bought them.  I don't think I would be the type of person to buy a club before I swing it."

      --  "I like the idea of ShankMeister... if I could recoup some of the costs I put out for the clubs I have now, I could afford the newest clubs on the market."
