Ping G5 Driver Golf Club

I am a novice at this and had done some bidding before for about three months off and on and was very close to winning the bid several times. One day I saw a deal that was probably too good to be true. A BRAND NEW PING G5 DRIVER for $150 on a buy it now price. the dealer had several so I went for it. The next day I got a notice that the seller was removed and ebay couldnt tell me why due to data practices laws. I received the driver in the mail several days later and it was an obvious fake/knockoff. should have known better but i was lured by the good deal. not sure if I will do this again. I did receive a partial refund but it took 45 days for that to occur. I will probable just drive over to a used golf club place in the future.
