# Hosel

> Hosel is a UK marketplace for second-hand golf clubs. It aggregates listings from vetted
> sellers into one catalog so buyers can compare price, condition and specification across
> retailers, then buy directly on Hosel or through the seller.

Hosel does not hold stock. Every listing belongs to a third-party seller, and prices,
conditions and availability change continuously as sellers sync their inventory. Treat any
price, stock state or specification you read here as true only at the moment of retrieval —
re-fetch the page rather than relying on a cached figure.

The catalog is organised on two axes that combine freely in the URL: club category
(`clubs/drivers`, `clubs/irons/iron-sets`, …) and brand (`brands/titleist`). Individual
club models have their own pages under `/gb/shop/products/`, and individual seller listings
under `/gb/shop/items/`.

Prices are in GBP and the market served is Great Britain (`/gb/` in every shop URL).

Some sellers are onboarded for checkout on Hosel, with payment taken by Hosel and the club
shipped by the seller. For the rest, the listing links out to the seller's own site and the
purchase completes there. The listing page states which applies.
