Title: Gm Apex 404
Post by: Kulli on November 29, 2011, 01:06:09 PM
25 bucks from SD, yet to see it myself but just got these from my folks. It's far from the prettiest but will do dandy for a wet weather/nets bat at that price. Half tempted to order another couple or one of the Luna's at 50 or Flare 303's at 20 and see what they're like.

Can't complain at 25 notes, doesn't look bad at all mate!

you might well find that that goes well - most of the stuff that would make it lower grade is away from the hitting area...

Yup, if it's a dog then it's no real los at that price, we play 3-4 games a year here on fairly soggy astro's that kill bats, and if it goes at all well then it's a steal at 25 quid, more-so since that only buys 2 pints here!

Oslo, High costs but also high Salaries to balance it our, terrible for the few months when I was still spending pounds though. Average 500ml beer is maybe about 7-8 quid, but there's places when it's as high as 15. They still have pretty much the same drinking culture at the UK though, except people rarely go for 1-2 quiet ones midweek.

Excellent value for money. Picked up 4 in the JJB sale and very impressed with all of them. Also picked up a 16 grained Flare 505 as well.

Yeah, might grab another couple, they also had the Luna 606 available for 55, but i don't really need anymore bats so just went for the super cheap ones. I'd be interested to see what the actual cost of manufacture of one of these was.

i was half tempted to take all 6 they have left, but then realised i really don't need more bats, were you just planning on keeping the best ones and selling the rest on?

Good luck on the Luna 606 for £55. Haven't seen that on either site!

I never went for it in the end, but convinced my workmate to get one, so I'll post pictures when it arrives.

Sports Direct, looks like he got the last one as it's only Harrow's left now.

Just one Apex left in SH if someone wants to take a cheap gamble.
