Whilst the bat might be deemed as cheap don't forget you've got import tax, shipping and vat to pay on top of it. Plus there's a probably a minimum order quantity too

you can talk to them as they have a base in Wimbledon - I have heard on the grapevine that a visit to their "shop" is a lot of fun - especially if it is just after a delivery

Plus remember if you are going to go into it yourself  you're not the first to try the idea. You would need a USP for it to be a success.
