Startup cost: $50 - $500

Setup costs range from $50 to $500 depending on the scale and quality of equipment you choose for selling golf clubs and accessories on Facebook Marketplace. At the minimum end, you might only need a smartphone with a decent camera to take product photos, packaging materials, and possibly some basic golf accessories to start. For a more comprehensive setup, you could invest in a DSLR camera for higher-quality images, packaging supplies in bulk, a dedicated workspace, and some initial inventory of golf clubs and accessories. Essential expenses include packaging materials and some inventory to kickstart your sales. Optional expenses could include advertising fees to promote your listings. Hidden costs might involve marketplace fees or transaction charges, which are generally low. Online experiences suggest that costs can vary widely depending on individual choices and strategies. If a friend were looking to take this seriously, I would recommend budgeting around $200 to $300 initially to cover essential setup and inventory costs.
