Title: Is this worth doing.
Post by: espocrespo on February 20, 2010, 03:44:05 PM
I have a 2008 powerbow, in not very good nick, was thinking of sending it off to be refurbed.
The refurb will be between 30-40.
For
Completely sanding down making it look new removing cracks.
Oiling/Knocking in
New 2010 stickers
New grip
postage inclusive.

Do you think its worth it, would you think i could make a profit selling on?

Would it be worth doing for a GM Duellist, thinks its the 5 star LE bat, the one that was 225 new. thinking of having that done up to keep, defiantly worth it.

That Duellist is worth it! Saw a BN 4 Star on ebay go for 45 quid mate, not worth it to be honest for the GN.

the only way youll get the stickers is to send it to them, no chance otherwise.

hmmm HEHE, i have an idea, maybe just send it off for a bit of touching up i'll do most of it, so it only costs like  25.00 then were in business. So i could like i've bought two new bats this year when i really haven't. this would take my collection up to 5 bats. so it would be a
Shark Hammerhead
Puma Iridium
Duck and Run Black Bat

GM Apex (Really the Duellist)
GN Powerbow 2010 (Really the Powerbow 2008)

Sounds good to me HEHE, i think i like collecting bats :P
