Title: Spartan MC LE 2014/15 bat
Post by: icewolf on July 20, 2015, 02:14:22 AM: Hi guys,

I found a good deal on this bat it's used but looks like in good condition but one question I know these LE bats don't come with a toe guard in UK at least but the one I found has a toe guard, do any version of these bats come with a toe guard? Or could it be fake? Found it on eBay.

Any suggestions?

you could post pics of your bat; perhaps someone here could give you a better answer...

Search for Spartan bat stickers and see how many listings you get

Post by: Topgun on July 20, 2015, 11:23:08 AM: I agree with the others, stay away from spartans on ebay. But its not the toeguard you should be worried about as the guy whos selling it may of added it on, but rather the hologram sticker. All spartan bats come with this hologram sticker since some scams during 2011/2012 season

Had a MC 1000 last year. This time you probably were lucky but Spartans are best avoided on eBay.

Post by: barmynik on July 20, 2015, 08:16:08 PM: Is this the bat you won? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spartan-Michael-Clarke-Limited-Edition-SH-Cricket-Bat-/181800737705? (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spartan-Michael-Clarke-Limited-Edition-SH-Cricket-Bat-/181800737705?)

If so, it looks a bit odd that the seller is selling an identical bat again - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spartan-Michael-Clarke-Limited-Edition-SH-Cricket-Bat-/181808861951? (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spartan-Michael-Clarke-Limited-Edition-SH-Cricket-Bat-/181808861951?)

Ahhh, maybe! I wouldn't personally do that as a seller before contacting the buyer, but guess everyone's different. Looks like a nice bat :)

Post by: icewolf on July 20, 2015, 09:19:18 PM: So u guys think £190 a good price for it? The seller says it's only used for 2 net sessions.

Personally for the best part of £200 I wouldn't want a used bat

Post by: Topgun on July 20, 2015, 09:36:34 PM: looks good to me. But if you really wanted to see if it was authentic then maybe you could ask him to scan the hologram sticker and then send the picture.
