Circle T Putters - Best place to purchase

[ArGolfHawg]

Best source for purchasing Cameron Circle T putters??

[Phabs]

Only a few i would trust , I tend to shy away from anything on ebay - coa or not.  Direct from the gallery or from some place like tourscottys are about the only two I would trust outside of established members on here.

I scored on ebay in 2021. Didn't know what he had and set no reserve. Got it almost under 1500. Most I'll ever spend on a hand stamped T but that's just my opinion. You definitely need to know what you are looking for.  Fortunately for my case there aren't any replica mid sur tour putters. Look for Mill marks and mushroom effect from the stamps and rare stamps like titleist.

Tour Stock Putters

Kratz Camerons

Tour Scottys

 

However, all of these sites have the putters marked up a good bit.  For the best value, get it directly from a collector at The Cameron Collector (but you have to be an active member with a minimum number of posts to purchase).

this is the answer. I've had good luck on the bay, and through private sellers. If you message the sellers on eBay, a lot of times they're willing to do a deal off of eBay for a lesser price because eBay wont be taking their cut. Kratz's prices are the most outrageous. 
 

I have a TFB 1.5 and a 009 and no longer have an itch to scratch from the CT standpoint. 
 

edit: also, when looking at these, it's good to have a really good idea of what you want and hold out for it. I knew I wanted a simple smooth face 009 with a Titlest stamp, and a TFB in case the 009 misbehaved. Both are gamers.

Agreed. Gallery direct is tough sledding as they only release 5-6 putters per week and you can’t beat bots. eBay is sketchy for sure, but most eBay listings are just fronts for their website. If you’re serious about buying on, it will likely be off eBay and paid paypal direct to seller. I have bought a few over the years, one from gallery, one from the long gone authorized resellers, and the rest from Tour Putter Gallery. Brad is great to deal with, and like most everyone they’ll negotiate a little. Prices have just gone up, seems like everyone that sells they raise the price of the next one by $500. I have seen models that don’t sell her reduced, and obviously thats still before negotiating. 
 

Best advice is make sure you buy the one you really want, as turning about and selling it on your own usually loses more money than not. These guys have reputations that we don’t, so you won’t get even what you paid for it on your own. Take you time, and save the money since you will likely pay close to double what the 3-4K retail price is, but that’s the scarcity effect and high demand.  If you wait long enough one of the flippers will bring in the stick of your dreams. I literally just happened to stumble on a brand new off tour 009 all black and at the length I wanted, meant to be.

Lots of great Facebook groups out there for Scottys. Best one for CT’s is the CT Republic

Any pictures? Smooth face sounds real interesting.

As smooth as I could fine, I guess technically it's a "fine mill"? Regardless, it's firmly in the bag as a gamer. Just had to add 2 strips of lead to the bottom  to get the swing weight up to where I like it.

Gotta choose desktop website

Cameron Collector site, join, chat and you will be offered putters. Always way cheaper than ebay or facebook groups if you make friends there. Got my last 009 from a good member for $2,300.

[ArGolfHawg]

Thanks for your help.  I'm getting registered now.  Btw, you have got an impressive collection!

The garbage bins beside a greens at a Tour event is always worth a shot.  It's how a friend of mine got his that a player broke in half and tossed in the bin on the way to the next green...

Friend was a walking score board holder for years up here, after CK broke his putter and tossed it in the bin, he picked it up and told the other guy that was racing to it that the player would likely want it back.  Convinced him to get the COA on it and that is what he's been rolling for the past like 4-5 years...

Tour putter gallery is a good option, Brad is trsustworthy overall.  You will pay a premium for one of his sticks, but his selection is usually very good.  Right now pricing isnt flexible but you can still get a putter you'll love if you can stomache it.

Brad sells international, I have KMG dealt with Kyle at TourScotty once and he was fine. They all are in it to make money, and the only way they benefit us is by having the putter we want. I can only speak to the fact that they don’t take your money and run, they just take a lot of it

Tour Scottys is a different site than Tour Putter Gallery.

Would you say the prices on the Cameron Collector Site are comparable to the Facebook group “Scotty Cameron”? My guess would be not because I’ve never seen anything close to $2300 009 on the Facebook group(s)

Funny this came up, I was in Goodwill next to the place I was getting my oil changed at today and found a legit Circle T Newport 2 for $150. I forgot my wallet so I asked and employee to hold it behind the counter and I'll be back in 10 mins. I rolled back in and the putter was gone. I asked the employee where it was and they said they were not sure. I checked the golf section and the rest of the store and it was nowhere to be found. ☹️

 

I'm checking one more time tomorrow. Im no SC putter expert, but it was the one with the dots all over it, Terylium I guess its called.

What made you sure it was a tour putter?

It said tour only on it. I still would have grabbed in either way at $150. It was in really good condition.

The prices there are cheaper if you know the members. They aren't giving them away, but they are more in line with reality. Their BST may only have 3-4 putters but if post and get to know people and will game the putter and not just flip it, you will get an unbelievable deal.

So many questions about this scenario....
