Real or fake Private Bin?
« on: June 26, 2013, 01:36:51 PM »
I bought this bat from eBay for £155. Does it look real to you guys. It feels very nice and picks up well. Ping is ok.

I think it's real, but I want you guys to check. The bat has an oval handle.

I've uploaded 8 pictures, you click on the numbers to see each one.

I'd say genuine, though it's a few years old

Can't see any reason to believe its fake

How do you know it's a few years old? The stickers or the general appearance of the willow?

Does it have a PB sticker? Maybe a lower grade L&W? I've seen better faces tbf, though the distinct L&W toe is pretty spot on

I'd say this is grade one. It's about the same as my Newbery Uzi c6+.

What about the face makes you think it's lower grade?

And it does have the private bin sticker.

That's a genuine L&W bat, no doubt. Looking the way it does, it better tap up like a bad mofo to be classed a private bin.
How does it sound off the mallet?

It taps us really nicely and after hitting it with the mallet quite a lot I can see it's going to go very, very well! :D

The middle on the thing is huge for such a traditional bat style.

I can see myself scoring a lot of runs with it.
