Can of worms officially opened!
The retailers on this site e.g. IJC can provide excellent advice and stock really good value gear (check out their website) and some of the custom bat makers on here e.g. Red Ink have some very competitive prices for members.
All of the sponsors on the forum can provide excellent value for money. A lot depends on what you want. Do you have anything (profile, weight, handle shape, weight, batting style wise) that you're after?
Best of luck with it! :)

I'm just not that familiar with bats in that range. I currently use a Vantage Lithium, a GN oblivion and a Kookaburra Kahuna 900. I really am not particular about profile yet, as id like to bat with all sorts of different profile.
On my wish list for the future are an affinity carbine and a mongoose torq.
Presently though I'm just wondering if there is a hidden gem out there that would serve me good for the winter nets and possibly for use as a back up game bat.
I use 2lb 10 at the moment and would like to stay within 2 ounces of that.

Give it a week or so and I'm sure there will be some crazy sales for end of seasons stock , if you can view the sale section there are some very good bats in there at present time including 3 from myself :D

The best value bat is one you use solely for three seasons until its cracked and held together by tape and wood glue.

And if all you are talking about is use in nets then any piece of willow that is bat shaped and weighted would do the job.

You can't beat a solitaire at that price.
-
Best value for money is an MSR bat if you are after a net bat.
A GM bat (either 404 or 606) could be a good investment at under a £100.

About £80 for my SG Cobra from India. 3 Seasons use, held together by tape and glue for 4th season and still pings like rocket but has been retired.

My 10 grain Black Cat shadow with extra thin handle 70 Plus postage no damage excellent ping only has one sticker due to refurb ( Emailed Black Cat without success to obtain stickers) cost me 275.00.
Money back if not completely satisfied (if returned in same condition).
-
Have a look on IJC for the the GN powerbow gen x at under £90 and what seems to be a cracking piece of wood in most cases especially as Paul hand picks them you really can't go wrong
-
Sorry for not causing the confusion.
Was more interested in a generic discussion around what bats people consider to be the best value for money, rather than a discussion about which bats are best for me to buy.

Butterfly bats!

My b3 butterfly is amazing value and from what I've heard every other one.

Yes butterfly if you can get one from B3 for £100 but others are just making massive mark ups on clefts most reputable best makers won't use and for a reason. Just my opinion but Salix, Newbery, GM etc don't use them at all.
Best value is a G3 or G4 from a bat maker that's known to make very good performing bats due to the pressing in house.
Again these are just my views.
-
The best value bats are generally the ones being got rid of by Sports Direct or Pro Direct Cricket in their special sales...
-
I agree with chad I got my best ever bat off ebay for £30 has been this seasons match bat had goes unbelievable well.
