Title: The guessing game...
Post by: cheese on August 05, 2014, 07:06:52 PM
Evening all, I have a little game for you, well it's more of a guessing game!
I would like to see if anybody can guess the make of the bat I've photographed and based on the grain structure also guess the price...
Sadly no prizes, but I'm interested in what responses I'll get!
Here is the bat... (http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii588/olliecricket/B359DED4-E6DC-40E2-96D3-B76BEBAECF85_zpsr0cgourz.jpg) (http://s1261.photobucket.com/user/olliecricket/media/B359DED4-E6DC-40E2-96D3-B76BEBAECF85_zpsr0cgourz.jpg.html)
Have fun
Ollie

I was going purely on the toe guard and can't think of any others with a red one off the top of my head haha...

Wait, Gray Nicholls??

That's daylight robbery! I wouldn't pay £160, let alone double for it!

But people do.

Same with anything, if people don't buy at that price then they would have to drop their prices.

Then some people must be either too stupid to realise or to lazy to research the market.

Problem is 'some people' are 99.9% of the people who buy bats.

I agree with wayward_hayward....although the grains look great £320 is a lot. I hope it's a real gun and serves the op well!!!

£320 is a bargain if it lasts 10 years and the buyer cannot play cricket.

I don't think cheese bought it.
It looks to me as though that photo was taken in a shop?

I'd never spend that much on a bat, you're right Pete...
It tapped up well and felt great but the stickers looked bad in the flesh and were badly applied...
I'll be sticking to my Gray Nicolls bats for now!
