Frequently Asked Questions

Fill out the quick form on our homepage with the brands, approximate quantity, and condition of your golf balls. We respond with a no-obligation quote within 24 hours. You can also email us directly at sales@sellmygolfballs.com if you prefer.

No strict minimum. Most competitors require 5,000+ balls, but we work with sellers of all sizes. Whether you have a bucket of 50 or a garage full of 10,000, we want to hear from you. That said, the more balls you have, the more cost-effective shipping becomes, which often means a better per-ball price for you.

We buy every golf ball — Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Bridgestone, Srixon, Vice, Kirkland, Top Flite, Pinnacle, Noodle, and everything in between. If it's a golf ball that isn't cracked or waterlogged, we want it. Check our golf ball value guide for more info.

We accept golf balls in all conditions — from near-mint balls that look barely played to scuffed, discolored, or lake balls. Better condition balls are worth more, but we find value in almost everything. See our value guide for details on how condition affects pricing.

We typically respond within 24 hours, often faster during business hours. If you submit your form on a weekend, expect to hear back by Monday.

Not at all. Our quotes are completely no-obligation. If the price works for you, great — we'll send you a free shipping label and get the process rolling. If not, no hard feelings.

It's four simple steps: you tell us what you have, we send a quote, you ship for free using our prepaid label, and we pay you within 48 hours of receiving the balls. Our How It Works page has a detailed walkthrough of each step.

Nope. Just send them as a mix — we handle all the sorting on our end. No need to separate by brand, model, or condition. Just box them up and ship.

We do — always. Once you accept a quote, we email you a prepaid UPS shipping label. You never pay a penny to ship your golf balls to us.

Use any sturdy box or boxes. Golf balls are heavy, so double-check that the box can handle the weight. No special padding is needed — golf balls are pretty tough. Just make sure the box is sealed well with packing tape. Liquor store boxes and banana boxes from grocery stores work great since they're designed for heavy items.

A standard medium moving box holds about 200–300 golf balls depending on size. A heavy-duty 18×18×18 box can hold around 400–500. We recommend keeping boxes under 50 pounds for easier handling and to avoid UPS surcharges. If you have a large quantity, it's better to use multiple boxes.

Any UPS location, UPS Store, or UPS drop box. You can also schedule a free UPS pickup from your home or office — just let us know and we can help coordinate that.

Yes. UPS offers home and business pickups. Let us know you'd like a pickup when you accept the quote, and we'll include pickup instructions with your label.

Absolutely. If your collection doesn't fit in one box or you want to sell in batches, we'll provide multiple labels. Just let us know how many you need.

UPS Ground typically takes 2–5 business days depending on your location. We're based in Athens, GA, so East Coast shipments arrive fastest.

Yes. Your prepaid UPS label comes with a tracking number so you can follow your shipment every step of the way. We also monitor incoming packages on our end and will confirm receipt.

Within 48 hours of us receiving and verifying your shipment. In most cases, payment goes out the same day we open your box.

PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or bank wire. Just tell us your preference when you accept a quote and we'll send payment through your chosen method.

We don't currently offer checks because digital payments are faster and more reliable. PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle are all free to receive and funds are available immediately.

If there's a significant difference between your description and what we receive, we'll reach out to discuss an adjusted offer. You always have the option to have the balls shipped back at no cost if we can't agree on a price. We never keep your balls without your consent.

No. The quote we give you is the amount you receive. We don't deduct shipping costs, handling fees, or anything else. What we quote is what you get.

Email us at sales@sellmygolfballs.com and we'll resolve it quickly. We take payment issues seriously and aim to fix any problem the same day you contact us.

We're not tax advisors, so we recommend consulting a professional. In general, income from selling personal property may be taxable depending on your situation. We do not issue 1099 forms unless required by law.

We use a five-tier grading system: Mint (looks new), Near Mint (minimal signs of play), Good (light scuffs or minor discoloration), Fair (noticeable wear but fully playable), and Practice/Shag (heavy wear). Our golf ball value guide has photos and detailed descriptions of each grade.

Yes. Scuffed and discolored balls are graded lower and priced accordingly, but we still buy them. The only balls we can't use are ones that are cracked, waterlogged to the point of being soft, or have chunks of the cover missing.

Yes, we buy lake balls. Balls that have been submerged can lose some performance, so they're typically graded lower. But many lake balls are in surprisingly good shape, especially if they haven't been underwater for long. We evaluate each one individually.

We buy X-outs and factory seconds. These are balls that didn't pass the manufacturer's quality check but are still perfectly usable. They're worth a bit less than their retail counterparts, but we still pay fair prices for them.

Generally, no. Refinished balls have been repainted or recoated, which makes it hard to assess the original condition and model. If you're unsure whether your balls are refinished, send us a photo and we'll let you know.

It depends on the model. A five-year-old Pro V1 is still worth buying. Very old or discontinued value-brand balls may not be worth much, but premium models hold their value well over time. When in doubt, include them in your quote request and we'll let you know.

Condition does play a role in the overall value of a lot. But you don't need to worry about sorting or grading — just send us the mix and we'll take care of everything. Check our value guide for more info on how conditions work.

Yellowed or sun-faded balls are still accepted. They typically fall into the Fair or Practice grade depending on severity, but we'll still make an offer on them.

Yes, and many of our sellers do exactly that. If you regularly find balls while playing or walking courses, those balls have real value. Just collect them up and request a quote when you have a good batch.

Absolutely. Estate and inherited collections are some of our favorite purchases. We can work with you or an estate executor to assess the value and make a fair offer. If the collection is local to Athens, GA, we may even be able to arrange a pickup. Just email us at sales@sellmygolfballs.com to get started.

Yes. Logo balls — balls with a company or tournament logo printed on them — are still usable and have value. They're typically priced slightly below non-logo equivalents since some buyers prefer clean balls, but we still want them.

We generally don't buy range balls — the ones with a colored stripe and "RANGE" or "PRACTICE" printed on them. These are constructed differently and aren't suitable for resale as playing balls. However, premium balls that happen to be used on a range (like Pro V1s) are still fair game.

Yes. Mixed lots are very common and we handle them all the time. You don't need to separate everything perfectly. A rough sort helps us quote faster, but we'll work with whatever you send.

Yes. We work with golf courses, driving ranges, and maintenance teams across the country. If you have a recurring supply, we can set up a standing relationship with regular pickups or shipments. Reach out at sales@sellmygolfballs.com to discuss volume pricing.

Yes. Colored golf balls have become increasingly popular and we buy them in all the same brands and conditions as white balls. Titleist AVX in yellow, Callaway Supersoft in orange — they all have value.

Yes. Larger quantities often qualify for better per-ball pricing because shipping becomes more efficient at scale. If you have 1,000+ balls, mention it in your quote request and we'll put together a competitive bulk offer.

We buy those too, and they command the highest prices. New-in-box balls from current or recent model years are the most valuable items we purchase. Definitely include them in your quote.

We're based in Athens, Georgia. All shipments come to our facility there. However, we buy from sellers in all 50 states — location doesn't matter since we provide free shipping. Learn more on our About page.

Yes. We provide free UPS shipping labels to sellers anywhere in the United States. Whether you're in Maine or California, the process is exactly the same.

We've purchased over 3 million golf balls and paid out more than $500,000 to sellers nationwide. We've been doing this long enough to know exactly what every brand, model, and condition is worth.

We clean, grade, and resell them to golfers looking for affordable, high-quality used balls. It's a win for sellers who get cash and a win for buyers who get premium balls at a fraction of retail. It's also better for the environment than letting perfectly good balls sit in a landfill.

We've paid out over $500,000 to sellers across all 50 states. We provide tracking on every shipment, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and multiple payment options. Our process is designed to be low-risk for sellers — if you don't like our final offer, we ship the balls back free of charge.
