Title: I've done the unthinkable!
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on August 08, 2014, 05:33:43 PM
Now this may be seen as some kind of blasphemy on this forum, but I've reduced my bat collection down to a mere 2 and a half bats!
Theres a bat that lives by the door which will stay there, and i'm keeping my first bat and the bat i got my first 50 with for sentimental reasons. These are retired though so theres no need to count them  ;)

The two I'm keeping are my chase 175 Beluga and my GM Six6 404. I'm also keeping my Mongoose just because, well, because...

I have now sold a total of 7 bats and given 2 away, I think I've got the opposite problem to the rest of the forum!

This could be the start of a new forum craze. Good bats to keep. Six6 looks like a great bat. Mmi is great for intruders.

Dear God!!!!!! - I read the title and thought you'd either touched up a Donkey or bought a bat from Lekka!

It might be an epidemic.. I've reduced down to 2 Affinity bats and had my h4l 666 repaired/refurbished...Think i've sold on 7 bats this season...

However the temptation was too much at the beginning of the week and picked up an unblemished Gd 3 Aldred Velocity from a fellow forum member.. :-[

Fantastic!! That's made my night that has!

You take the one in the middle with the 'tache, and I'll have the one on the left with the cheeky gleam in her eyes!

I was up to about 15, so 2 match bats is an achievement!

Got 3 "retired", 1 collectable (sort of) and the one by the door incase we need to chase someone down the drive lol!

I still have 6 bats I need to sell.
Net bat
2 match bats
Mongooooossse
The 6 I just bought (one has not arrived yet)
3 in the loft deemed beyond repair.
2 out on loan to players in need.


My only fear is that my missus discovers them. She may realise her new car fund has bought bats instead....

Lol.  I had an open discussion last night.  My missus now knows that I have 8 bats that can be played with (room for one more) plus twenty vintage ones in the loft...
