When you spend £3.50 you usually expect a coffee to go, or a supermarket sandwich.
However, if you spend enough time on eBay you can pick up some willow for that price!
My first bat was a Harrow Woodworm torch, and I've been looking for a decent condition one for a couple of years.
I stumbled accross this listing the other day, and put in a bid not expecting to win. As it turns out I was the only bidder and I won!
Even with postage it was less than £10, so I'd say this is a bargain as a refurb project.
What arrived was this
As you'd expect from a bat that's up to 10 years old there are a couple of signs it's been used.
As you can see there's a few little cracks but that doesn't bother me.
A bit of glue and a fine sanding should have this bat looking lovely again.
Now for those who want to know.
28mm edges
61mm spine
Weighs 2lb10.5 in its current state.
I'll update with more pictures as the refurb progresses.
