Hello nixu-ga
Used Ping clubs are up for auction, both singly and in sets, at
http://www.golfbidder.co.uk/ Many of these are available as an
“instant buy”. There are more than 200 lots, and prices range from
£20 for a single piece to £500 for a set. As with other auction
sites, it is possible to look at the seller’s feedback from previous
transactions.
Ebay currently also has a few Ping clubs up for auction from sellers
located in the UK:

New clubs by Ping can be obtained from:
American Golf http://www.americangolf.co.uk has a UK-based online shop
at http://shop.american-golf-discount-online-golf-shop.co.uk/online_shop/americangolf.html
and a number of branches around the country
http://shop.american-golf-discount-online-golf-shop.co.uk/static/store_locator/americangolf.html
The branches also stock ex-demo, refurbished and second-hand clubs,
but there is no overall search facility for these. Call 0845 05 05
115 to be connected to your nearest store. 9.30am to 6.30pm Monday to
Saturday, 10am to 4pm on Sunday and Bank holidays.
Nevada Bob also has branches in the UK
(http://www.nevadabobsgolf.co.uk/pls/dad_nbuser/nb_store_locator ) and
features Ping clubs. However, they do not supply prices on their web
site, but instead say: “The products are shown for information only.
As an authorised supplier of Karsten (Ping) we have agreed to conform
with their request NOT to show prices against any Karsten (Ping)
products. If you would like to order or obtain a competitive
quotation, please call this Number 020-7588-5640. Due to the nature of
Ping products it is very difficult to display all of the product
ranges and models. www.pinggolf.com”
Direct Golf has four different types of Ping putter for sale all at
£79.99

Golf Crazy is an official UK supplier of Ping. The web site features
very few products, and none from Ping. Again the claim is that some
manufacturers restrict them from advertising their prices. However,
the shop can be contacted at: 0113 2871111 Email:

Ping itself supplies details of its European (inc. UK) stockists at
www.pingeurope.com , however the site is currently inaccessible
because it is being updated. I have found a telephone number for
enquiries: 01427 619224
According to a decree put out by Ping in May 2000, their products are
not allowed to be sold over the Internet. According to Pat Loftus,
vice-president of sales and marketing, "Our products are more
complicated than others, and club-fitting is a big part of our
strategy. Point and click sales don't allow for club- fitting… the new
policy is intended to be permanent. But Loftus added: "We have no
crystal ball and we don't know what will emerge down the line. We will
monitor the situation.”
