Pair of bats for sale, made for a professional player.
Very big for the weight as you can imagine. Shadow shape.
Very rare opportunity.
Serious offers emailed to info@blackcatcricket.com, as I probably won't check this thread.
Thanks
-
pics?
-
Who they made for ;)
-
Probably save you alot of time and bother to just post pics here. People won't buy unless they can see, and posting once here is surely better than answering 20 emails.
-
yeah come on show us some pics
-
he did say that he probably won't check this thread so keen people may have to email him directly.
-
But pictures give people an idea if they are interested and would probably save them time from answering the same questions.
-
If anyone is interested I emailed him with a cheeky bid of £200, and he politely declined so if nothing else it gives you guys an idea of what sort of figure he's looking for! I think he might be looking at upwards of £250! Must be some bat!
-
Maybe he isn't putting pictures up because he doesnt want the buyer to get any advice from fellow forum members? If he won't put pics up I wonder how special the bats actually are?

You offered £200 for a bat you hadn't seen?

If I said that Leo, I'd be told to mind my own business ;)
-
yeah but we like Leo ;) haha
does make you wonder how special these are tho
-
Yeah a bit of blind bidding! Not wise modt of the time but personally I trust the batmaker, I know it's a shadow profile and 2.8 and he did say it's professional standard so it can't be a plank, sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind!
Or maybe I'm crazy! Lol!
-
Let me tell you Charlie knows his bats.
-
i havent seen a bad black cat tbh............
i think we all just want to see pics tbh
-
Of that there is no doubt and I don't think that is being questioned here.
It would just make much more sense to post pics and specs here rather than expecting potential buyers to go to the trouble to making contact about something that it may turn out does not interest them. It would also, as is being proven now, remove any doubt about the bats in question.
-
I asked for a bit more info, and I'm sure that Charlie is aware that we share a lot of this kind of stuff, so here goes.
When asked about anticipated price, he said he was looking for a fair bit more than a normal shadow and is looking to sell them both as a pair.
Given that a standard Shadow is £240, I reckon you are going to need at least considerably more than 500 notes available if you want one and want to sell on the other...
-
Have you seen them Tim?

Having said that it's a Shadow profile, and weighs just under 2lb8oz! You'd have the same level of viewing buying from the Black Cat website.

Well to be honest I have seen that as an obstacle in ordering a BC, the inability to ever see what you are getting until it has arrived.
The fact that this has been flagged up as beyond the norm and exceptional (in both quality and cost) I think only increases the necessity to be able to see them. But hey, just trying to make life easier.
-
Marketing at it's best.....

No, I was just being nosey, and wondered what sort of price range would be required. I have bought a number of items from makers on here unseen, so I'm relatively relaxed about it.
However, and it's a fairly big however, the last item I bought that was made for a pro and didn't get there didn't cost more than the normal price of the item...
-

I get that, and I'm not for a moment suggesting there is something fishy here. Not at all.
Case in point though, I really do like this brand. I have often considered buying into it, but each time I am put off by not being able to see/choose a cleft and be involved in the process.
So much so that when Charlie posted the pics of the new Shadow stickers a few days ago, I contacted to about the availability of the particular bat in the pics. Sadly it isn't available, but the point stands that having a tangible reference point does, for me at least, far increase the desirability of the product.
With the goldmine of top bats available on here, anyone would be mad, quite frankly, to buy sight unseen, from anyone.

What a ridiculous thing to say. 2lb 7 7/8oz, 37mm edges, 60mm spine. Already had an offer of £600 for the pair.
Why not turn your attention to making it less tedious and fiddly to upload pics to the forum...

It's really easy to put pics up.

Could be so much simpler...

If you are struggling email them to jonpinson at gmail dot com and I will happily put them up.
-
Not struggling, but don't see why we have to take photos, upload pics to computer, log into image shack, upload there, then link to here. Surely quicker to have an upload thing on here, or even be able to uplaod direct from a blackberry. Just a thought...
-
u need an iphone with photobucket app mate much quicker to do then ;)

Well it's your sale, and as has been said here by quite a few people there would be more interest if you did post pics, but hey it's your decision.
-
Good idea Charlie, my base rate is £8.50 an hour so if your interested in me implementing this drop me a line.
-
everyone else doesn't mind...Just saying.

Seriously the Shadow I have is bloody amazing bat (would say easily better than these tbh) Charlie, possible to get another one like that ? It is old Shadow, that. Bat is too good, I played with it and it was amazing!
-

£600 thats alot of bat(s).........
-
As Charlie has described them, they are very big for the weight and if Charlie says they will perform then I can never even in my sixth sense doubt his words
-
If they didn't have the word 'Pro' infront. Are these £300 pieces of wood?
