worth a punt if anyone has a ton for a new bat......bargain and if i wasnt so poor i wouldnt of highlighted for all you good folk!
-
Id stay clear of it, looked at many of them and didn't see any that were that good, no pics of the bat either.
-
but it's so easy to get your money back as a buyer on ebay.......for a £100 you could get lucky and get an absolute corker, or a real turd of a bat........it's like the mystery box.
-
Absolute steal, less than trade price. Has been selling a lot of sports kit, so must be getting it cheap from somewhere...
Great link, thanks SS.

are you being sarcastic, or is he really selling some good gear
-
No sarcasm here, check the feedback.
Also sold this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180427199485&category=57261 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180427199485&category=57261)

Not worth the fuss if its crap as you would still have to pay p&p to send it back and the seller may not take returns so unless its a fake bat I'm guessing it would not be that easy to get the money back. Not that keen on a mystery box either lol guess that's why i keep my money. Just checked and no returns accepted.
-
shillyshilly - go for it. If it is not what you expect, go onto paypal, open a dispute and simply say 'item arrived damaged' - you will be immediately refunded.
If you say its fake etc, they cant do anyting about that because a dispute about the quality of goods is not in their t&c
-
Nice line in fraud there! I probably wouldnt have published that online...
On to the bat, i wouldn't touch it with a barge pole! Buy cheap, buy twcie as the saying goes!
-
Yeh maybe different if the bat pics were of the actual bat rather than a generic image used on online shops etc. You dont know what its like for £100 until it turns up which is obviously a gamble in itself.
-
I sent the seller an email last night requesting photos of the actual bat. But no response yet!
-
Sounds a good move...if they look half decent then maybe worth pursuing if not then leave it alone!
-
I'm still undecided about Adidas bats, their softs seem fine but I'm not sure they've got the bats right reading the wisden review
-
Well, i've seen two bats purchased off this guy before and they were both excellent - item was just as described and as Tom suggests, the feedback is all good.
Like i said in my first post, i dont have the money - if i did i would be buying it.
Musama, please never bid on any items i ever sell on ebay - thankyou :)
-
And i'm afraid i have to disagree with you Colesy, i think their softs are utter crap but the bats are'nt too bad (i have used both the incurza and pellara and thought they were pretty good)
-
lol, I just think they're nowhere near like likes of GM or Gray Nics for quality
-
Well, if you never take a risk in life, then it's just no fun!
Bat has been purchased!
-
Sound philosophy let us know how it looks when it arrives, hopefully it a good un!
-
I hope its good - but will let you know!
-
i second you on that SS, the adidas soft goods - specially the gloves are horrible.....
the Pellera bat with the new stickers looks garish..... 2009 stickers were much better
hope they last long enough to honor their endorsement contracts...........
-
looks sick..... 2009 stickers were much better
Had to do a double take on that post being a teenager ;)

Anyone buy one of these in the end?

Woops. Missed that.
-
gutsy move, let us know as soon as it arrives, intrigued!!! Put pics up as well!
Agree with most, as has been documented elsewhere on here, adidas just seem to have it wrong.
I am in the software industry and we have analysts check forums frequently for feedback. I wonder if brands (apart from the obvious ones we see on here all the time) check this? especially adidas!!!
-
It was a gutsy move, but no good!
The seller said that he put the 'buy it now' on my mistake, and the £100 should have been a starting bid!!
So he refunded the money straight away. Not sure what I can do about it really.
Shame as it looked like an absolute bargain.
-
Unlucky, Haha as my dad used to say if its too good to be true, it usually is!
