There are some very good deals to be had on ebay. If the seller isn't too far always worthwhile asking to have a look at the item, some good deals can also be had this way.

eBay, I love it!
I have bought a few bits on there and only once had an issue (which was a huge gamble and effectively a blind bid from me, you can't win them all!)

If you know what you're looking for and have the time to trawl through the tat that's listed you can blag yourself a bargain.

eBay is fine for softs but for bats i would prefer to stay away. For most brands there is some problem or the other ...

1. GM => Any cheap deal you see for a new bat is probably a GM - Made in India under license. GM - Made in England is my preferred option.
2. Gray Nicolls => Cheaper option of GN bats are available from Indian sellers and they sell the range which is produced for Indian market. This range doesn't match with the current GN UK or Australia range. Also the bat profile and shapes are quite different.
3. CA/HS/MB/Ihsan => There are so many fakes for these bats and sometime its difficult for someone to even detect if something is a fake. Watch out for sellers from Pakistan and Dubai/UAE selling CA cricket bats. Avoid them as much as possible ...
4. Kookaburra => Watch for Kook bats sold by Indian sellers. 90% chance it would be a kashmir willow with fake Kookaburra stickers.

If you see a H4L, B3, Blank bat etc on eBay, i would say they are safer options to buy. These bats don't come up that often on eBay and even when it comes up i find them to be mostly genuine.

Almost afraid to post this one up, seller was selling as he was injured, he bought it new from talent cricket, knocked in edge tape and Scuff sheet, but unused.Looks genuine and the seller was on play-cricket but you guys will know better than me. Salix Pod Grade One. It's my first bat, although I'm getting on a bit I only started playing last season where I was using a borrowed bat to start with.Wish I'd have found this forum earlier.

That's a cracker and it will be genuine...new style stickers so it won't be that old either
Well done.....shop prices for the grade one will be well over 300 quid

Cheers, well I gave £240 for it inc pp, it weighs 2lb 7oz which will suit me fine as I'm only a short ass. Think I need to look for a back up now , maybe something a bit cheaper for the Nets when they start in Feb

It's yet to be used in anger, but just knocking a ball up in the back it feels like a great ping, gets its debut when the nets start in Feb
