Just seen this offer on the Kippax website!
Excellent value if a group of you can buy in bulk! Looks like all the bats are custom made to spec as well!
-
yes new deal we are offering! this is for clubs that are wanting to buy bats in bulk, and maybe friends that want to purchase together and save some money. the deal is on the problade and colossus. but yes once order is placed we will ring you and speak about the weights stickers and so on to try hit the customers expectations as best we can if you require any further information please feel free to give us a ring!
-
Great deal!
-
9 others wanna join me 😉
-
Do I sense a forum bulk buy coming on...
-
Don`t get me wrong as have highest opinion of Brand and quality,their quality doesn`t come cheap,obviously,but this forum offer smacks of offering cheap crack in a Brooklyn park at night !
Maybe now i`m a cynical southerner(tho half Yorkie by blood !),but i`d prefer rrp and wholesale prices to drop across their range instead of gimmicky offers like this,as i find Kippax very very expensive !
IMHO
*pulls sheet over head to avoid inevitable s`storm coming my way*

Um have you not seen the latest bundle deals...
-
£400-450
..are they bargain deals ?
we share different perspectives on VFM then...
-
I was actually going to contact Kippax about this and see if they allow folk to pop down to pick some up and decide, then see if other forumers wanted to join/me to pick them out a bat. 😁

I would be very tempted by a visit to pick cleft/bat Chad.

I don't actually believe this is a forum offer bud, it was never advertised on here.

Forum offer or not I kind of understand the point @frontfootdrive2 was trying to make.
If you set the RRP high then give offers such as this (RRP £340 per bat down to £200 each is almost 42% off) regularly it does raise eyebrows. It's something a large chain retailers get regularly slated for.
If you make a decent margin on 10 bats for £2,000, I suppose there's an argument you could make the same margin on 1 bat at £200, but in this case it's an economy of scale. (Would you sell more bats at £200 than £340 to make up for the profit margin per unit?)
As for Kippax's offers, you can decide yourself if they're value for money or not. The raw figures however are:
10 bats
RRP £3,400. Price £2,000
£1,400 or 41.18% saving off RRP
5 bats
RRP £1,700. Price £1,250
£450 or 26.47% off RRP
Bat, pads & gloves bundle
RRP £490. Price £400
£90 or 18.38% off RRP
Bat, pads, gloves & bag bundle
RRP £560. Price £450
£110 or 19.42% off RRP
-
Regardless of RRP by manufacturers and wether I believe prices are crazy, this is still a good offer and potentially worth looking at.
-
Me too. I'd be up for a bat or two
-
Personally, would never pay more than c. £150 for a bat. Plenty of opportunities to pick up a very nice bat around that price range.
-
If we can get up to 10 of happily buy one?
-
Can we get 10 to visit Kippax? I would be up for this if we can pick clefts etc.

Clearly you havent been on the forum for long. Give yourself a few more months and then you will feel that a 'good' bat is a steal for £250! :D :D

Hehe! Been here for a while and have been assimilated into the "3 bats isn't enough" culture :D
Still can't justify paying more than about £150 for a bat though … think you're seriously into diminishing returns at that point.
-
I am interested.
-
Be rude not too, I'd be keen to join 9 others
-
Kippax, are you happy to have 10 forumites group together and go ahead with something?
-
If postagecan be arranged to Aus, ill be happy to take part!
-
happy to do the deal but the price would have to be paid in full.
-
Seems like a good way to get a top quality new bat for £200.

I wonder if the England team take advantage of this offer as there seem to be a fair few Kippax bats lurking in kit bags at the moment ;)

It wouldn't surprise me if their were pros with accounts taking advantage of similar pricing deals.

Root 100% was using a Kippax in the last test. Getty image shows a 'K' on the handle.

I just see White/Red, how different is that from a New Balance handle sticker?
-
I'm almost certain that isn't a Kippax sticker (First innings)

Last years NB stickers for comparison (slight difference, but very much the same style)

I was going to suggest that they were inconclusive.
-
Tom's picture is perhaps what I took as likeness to an SS sticker.
-
Just looks like new balance sticker but it’s hard to get a good image
-
Fair enough.
Thought it looked like a K but obviously not,
-
No pics yet, but it's no wonder that a fair few of the England team use Kippax. Wonderful bats, excellently pressed and balanced. :)
-
Here you guys go - it would definitely be worth it to band together for 10 bats and taking up the 10 bat offer. ;)

Everyone would want to get their hands on the best one out of the lot..
Who will decide?
-
Do you all get to specify your bat?
-
How would you do the payment though? Kippax specified that it needed to be paid in full in one payment, that's a lot of dough for one person to hold onto.
-
If your serious you all need to visit the factory at the same time and have at it - sound idea in theory, tricky to organise and get people to actually turn up
-
Lovely willow!
-
Have we definitely got 10 people interested? Like seriously interested? If so then we can work out a way of doing it, I'm in
-
I’m in

Is that what they've said?
-
happy to do the deal but the price would have to be paid in full.
-
Some of the bats Hanif has had on his channel look awesome. It is a great offer if people can get it sorted.
Unfortunately I'm okay for bats and for that reason like Dragon's Den... I'm out. Looking forward to the bats you guys get.
-
I'm in, if we can get it sorted between us.

So we couldn't put the money up as a lunp sum, and each pick up bat at time that suited?

Sounds strange 😀😀
Which bats are you planning to use this season? Better be good enough to ignore this offer 😀😀
-
Ok, the way to do this is for people to message me if they want to take up the offer. You must have cash ready to paypal to me.
I will act as escrow and when we have ten I will ask from £200 from each of you. I will also check with Kippax how much postage will be for each bat. This will need to be included on top of the £200.
You have until Tuesday at 5pm to make your decision.
You will need to be able to transfer me the cash on Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
When I ask for cash I will also ask for desired bat weight, fully dressed with stickers and middle position as well as your postage address.
@Kippax if we get 10 I will call/email you to sort details, I hope that is ok.

Looking back at this thread I have seen expressions of interest from

@rajesh500
@Mel Jessop
@LEACHY48
@sultanofswing
@imogzyboy
@joeljonno
@jblowe
@cricketbadger
@velvetsky01
As you can see that is 10... so this could be on.
If there are others then I will discuss this with kippax.
-
So, potentially, if I put the money up as part of the group, would I be able to go and choose a bat in my own time?
-
If ten people actually agree to this I'll change my name to Boris.
-
Possibly, that is something for if I get 9 other takers and Kippax agree.
Just sticking this here so it is more visible

Is the bat made to spec? Obviously realistic ones and is it top of the range?
-
I'll have to rule myself out, currently have £9 in the bank to last me the week

Guys for all the expressions of interest, not a single person has put their hand up to try and go for this... 😮😮😢😢
-

Sounds like I'm staying as simply Marmaduke then @Buzz...
-
I’m willing but would prefer a visit to Kippax to choose
-
I can take @cricketbadger's place in the list. Please count me in if the deal is still on!

Sorry I've been in work, I'm still happy to go ahead myself and send monies!!
-
Anyone know how many bats Kippax typically have in stock to view?
-
Have we got 10 people yet?
-
I would also be up for a visit.
-
Have we got 10 people yet?
Not even close, sadly.
-
Well I’ve been and made my purchase! Review to follow
-
I am in @Buzz
if you guys decide to do a pool let me know
-
having purchased 2 kippax bats secondhand (tho one of which was brand new) i am ruling myself out of this for now @Buzz
-
I am not going to do this now, we gave it a go, but there wasn't enough interest.
Not for want of trying...!
-
thanks for trying @Buzz
-
Could we get this started up again? I'll deffo take two! Money in hand ready to go, I live in Manchester so happy to make the trip.
-
This will be a CBF miracle if it happens.
-
I'm keen provided I get some say in the specs
