Charlie French Bat Offer
« on: June 28, 2011, 11:21:33 PM »

As I've mentioned in threads previously my club have had a long standing relationship with Charlie French, stemming back to the club tours that used to go to Nottinghamshire in the 90's. He's also previously sponsored the team, and has quite often given our club members generous discounts.

A couple of our lads are now working as agents for him. Was speaking to one guy tonight who said that he can get the best discount if he bulk buys. An order for 5 Premier Cru bats works out at near enough £160 each, as opposed to the £240 advertised on the CF website. So I asked if he was comfortable with me sticking on something on here to that effect - he is!

The Premier Cru description is as follows:

The Premier Cru bat is made from the very best pieces of premium willow, put to one side by the willow merchant for the finest elite blades. The bat can be made in any of the shapes in our range, or to your own specifications. These really are exceptional bats!

 Available in weights above 2lb 8oz
 Each blade is tested for moisture content
 Natural burnished finish
 Pressed to perfection, tested throughout the pressing procedure with a mallet
 Long, short and super short handles
 Hand crafted


So if you would like to take advantage of this, please get in touch. If there's more than 5 of us then I'll co-ordinate it through my contact.

That seems a hell of a good deal. Its bascially 30% discount for a top quality bat custom made if I read correctly.CF bats are very well regarded in leagues around me. Id be tempted if others showed an interest

That is indeed a great deal.

Now when CF and/or Co sign up for advertising space it would contribute much required funds to the running of this forum.

It doesnt look like advertising to me..Just a fellow cricketer pointing out a good deal. Do ebay need to pay for advertising space because links to ebay bats are often linked by forum members pointing out good bargains?

Tis the difference though between out and out marketing of a product, versus sharing a good deal with other forum members.

I've pitched this to the admin team, and we agreed I'd make one thread, and one thread only regarding this deal, and I am refraining from jumping on other peoples threads when they ask "what bat should I get for less than £200 budget" etc...

This deal is basically been arranged via a 3rd party, not directly with CF.

As CF (plus numerous CF agents in one club) are dealing in bulk sales, can I request one of these chaps to email me prices (based on the above mentioned specs by the OP) for 50 units (withouts stickers) for export ?

I'd imagine that for an order of that size you would be much better contacting CF directly.

The 'agents' Charlie has at our club aren't full time sales personnel by any stretch, and I doubt they would be geared up to deal with an order that big.

If you are being serious, I can happily make some enquiries - or are you just Trolling?
