The couple tried selling their clubs using social media but were disappointed with the process, which involved dealing with unreliable buyers and handling large amounts of cash. They also noticed that the only pricing guide available for golf clubs was created by golf shops, which often resulted in inflated prices that benefited the stores at the expense of the golfer. The founders wanted to create a solution that would save golfers money, make the process of buying and selling clubs easier, and keep the spirit of the sport alive.

NextbookIt: A P2P Book Selling Marketplace for College Students
