Greatt, @TCB can I have a 75% discount and free knocking in please?  ;)
Title: Re: Hello to you all!
Post by: The Cricket Boutique on August 23, 2016, 02:45:07 PM
@WalkingWicket37 yep that's no problems, give me 10 minutes to adjust our website prices and then you can take your pick. Bats will start at around £400 which is still cheaper than some.  ;)

@TCB - I have a question.

Has the profile of the Jedi Zaramax bat changed over time?  The ones on your facebook page seem to have less of a 'hump' - the ones on his own website seem to have a more pronounced hump.

Post by: The Cricket Boutique on August 23, 2016, 03:05:51 PM
@FattusCattus Im not sure with regards to over time however sometimes to save a little weight the spine towards the splice is flattened which may be why the hump looks bigger on some, it could also have been that the one on the website was 2.14 and the LE Zaramax on my facebook page is 2.8.

Welcome to the forum and like the idea behind your shop.

Have to say those Helygen boys aren't shy about borrowing other's names and sticker designs! Got to start somewhere I suppose.

welcome to the fourm @TCB
good to see more bat makers getting highlighted

so how is it better buying from you than buying directly from bat maker as most of these brands are smaller boutiques and they sell own their own?
Title: Re: Hello to you all!
Post by: The Cricket Boutique on August 25, 2016, 04:01:06 PM
@i12breakfree Thanks for the welcome. It works well between us thanks. Some boutique brands don't get the exposure they deserve so we like to think we are doing our (small) part in promoting them and UK industry.

Obviously you have the option to buy directly from the makers themselves however this is only like people being able to buy a GN, for example from lots of different shops.

Some boutique brands may have high turnaround times during busy times of the year so we like to think we can compete on turnaround time by holding stock and also on price.

We intend on adding lots more genuine UK bat makers to our list so this will give you the option to compare all of these in one place, a one stop boutique bat shop if you like.

I love it @TCB . Let's face it, many of the smaller brands don't do much promotion and as you say don't necessarily have many (or any) bats ready to buy when you may need one in a hurry. The more exposure for small UK batmakers and the easier it is to get hold of their bats the better! Good addition to the forum sponsors, hope it's a fruitful time on here for you. Just don't mention morals ;)
