Title: Re: How fake can you get?
Post by: Tom on December 25, 2009, 05:48:51 AM: Seller will be based in Melbourne with the bat dropshipped from India.

Carnage is available in Kashmir Willow now from India, complete with Aussie stickers. Any evidence it's fake?
Title: Re: How fake can you get?
Post by: smokingdavo on December 25, 2009, 11:12:51 AM: I think its just part of the indian kookaburra range.

Its a carnage, there are alot worse out there.
Title: Re: How fake can you get?
Post by: amoboko on December 27, 2009, 10:17:11 AM: TBH, I don't see any use of buying bats from E-bay. I did once for a friend of mine ( 2 RBK's) and they are quite good a bit heavy but decent for the price we bought them. The bat an sich was really cheap. The shipping was a massive rip off and the postman asked € 10 per bat just to deliver it. Luckily the mighty Euro stood at our side so it was like € 50 a bat. I reckon once you know where it's origin is you already know that the chance will be small that it will be a quality bat. There's always a small possibility. but when you use common sense it looks very strange that when a bat is being sold in a shop for E.G. £ 160 you only pay like £ 50 including shipping from God knows where.

How much or what do you know about ND Sports? They are pretty big in sports equipment and clothing business mate. Not sure if they are as big in cricket as they in other sports though.

I have been to their shop in Manchester and their bats are decent and definitely better than most of the crap that is sold on ebay as grade 1.

Not sure if they are used or were used by Shahid, but they did have pic of 3-4 Pak players with their bats. Maybe they used them as a one-off sometime .......

i will be surprised if they are trying to con people.

Grade A does not mean Grade 1. Look at the MCC website for definition of a Grade A bat......it is to do with the materials used and not the grade of willow.....smart marketing / phrasing on part of ND though.... certainly will get a layman confused.

BTW, why does it not look like a Grade A bat?

Title: Re: How fake can you get?
Post by: Tom on January 28, 2010, 07:26:10 PM: There is no such thing as Grade A English Willow, there's Grade A bats and Grade 1 English Willow.

If he is doing it to confuse people and big up his bats then it's a bit dodgy.
