Title: V1200 & Impala - Garage sale finds
Post by: TeamFTE on January 12, 2016, 08:10:46 AM
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Was lucky enough to be over at my brothers this weekend for a BBQ and noticed his neighbour having a garage sale. I hoped in to see what they had and spotted these two leaning up against an old fridge. After a little haggling i walked away with them both for $60 AUD.

What are peoples thoughts? Worth keeping or should i just throw them up on ebay?

The V1200 has a UK price sticker on it for 179bp

I don't know anything about the Impala so any assistance would be awesome.

I can't comment on what the Impala is like as I've never used one but GCCC are charging big bucks for them!

Wow now that's what I call a bargain, the owner of the bats mustn't have a clue of what they had.

As it looks a sports direct bat probably sold for around £80

The impala stunner is-from memory-a grade 2 Indian made that retailed last season for about 450 AUD new.  Though the face of the bat looks better than that.  The floro/blue stickers are on this years' pendulum bat, however, that model as the edges drilled through.

Even if the Slaz isn't worth 179 both bats are steals at 28 GBP :O

Wow the value of those is insane. Agree the slaz price sticker looks like SD. Imagine it probably cost as much to ship to Aus for what you paid for it

Think SD own slaz and sell alot of their lower standard gear so slaz dont have too, that being said for $60AUD if it makes a half decent net bat youre on to a winner

Those impalas are sold by deals Direct and only online (actual site name) in Australia. Deals Direct have massive discounts atm on the impala range. I picked up something similar to the stunner for 60aud down from 300 odd on there yesterday. They have the stunner for $119 atm

Thanks for the heads up mate.

I might knock them both in and then decide what to do with them.

The V1200 is 2.10 and i haven't weighed the Impala but its fair to say it is a fair bit heavier being a LB.

Not necessarily. I have a LB that is 2lb 7oz's and is bigger in all dimensions than my 2lb 9oz SH ;)

The stunner is usually $400 though and is only on special till tomorrow. So you got a bloody good bargain here.

To tell you the truth i think it has a lovely middle, but i have too many bats so i need to cull..

The V1200 will be up for sale soon too..

How much did your one weigh?

To tell you the truth, i haven't even put it on the scales as the batteries have died on it..
