JNC86 do you still have any interest in the offer?

My 2 mates never came back to me mate - sorry about that. Could only ask them for you and show them the thread

I don't think you are mate, read the forum selling rules

I did but i thought the 50 posts rule was abandoned depending on the quality of the posts.. If i've breached them then I'm happy for moderators to take the post off.. hopefully not though as I really would like one of these CFs and I'm an honest man just recycling quality surplus gear...

you do have to have 50 posts on here. You don't on cricketinsight at the moment though. I'd be tempted to do a quick copy and paste. I can't delete the current topic from my phone

It is 50 quality posts that you have to have, so I can see your confusion.

Thanks Johnny.. have done and I shall wait for my 50 quality posts if any of the gear remains. I realise this is a contentious issue and it must be difficult and time consuming for mods to justify 50 quality posts and who would have the time!?

we don't vet every single post, but when a member signs up and tries to get to 50 posts quickly it's pretty obvious, and they'll find the non "quality" posts just get deleted *cough* banjo7 *cough*

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.

Hey Johnny.. how's this offer looking? do you have 5 takers already? are u still awaiting 5 confirmations and lastly, have you been given any indication how long it'd take to get the bats to the lucky new owners? It's just that I return to Prague near the end of this month.. thanks..

Johnny · « **Reply #38 on:** July 15, 2011, 09:16:09 PM »

Still don't have 5 orders, and without placing an order it's impossible to get an accurate lead-time.

praguetaz · « **Reply #39 on:** July 15, 2011, 09:42:06 PM »

If you don't mind me asking how many do you have confirmed?

Johnny · « **Reply #40 on:** July 15, 2011, 09:50:39 PM »

0

...I don't think anyone is prepared to confirm until there are 5.

Have 3 interested including you, and if my Laver sells I'm on board too.

Maybe we should start a list on the thread?

Johnny ... apologies if I missed it in the thread, but is it correct that the Premier Cru can be made in different shapes ... and where on the CF site can I see the different shapes? Just can't find the page

Johnny · « **Reply #42 on:** July 15, 2011, 10:27:48 PM »

Here's a link to the stock shapes - so you can get a Premier Cru made in the shape of an Advance, Aria, Recurve or Tourist, or have one made to your own spec.

As you know.. i'm selling some excess cricket gear on e-bay due to not having enough posts on here - doing my best to sell by dropping prices and have less than a day to go on the current listings.. if they sell tomorrow I can confirm...

Johnny · « **Reply #44 on:** July 15, 2011, 10:42:01 PM »

Maybe we should put a deadline on it...

Say a week from now, Friday 22nd July, to get the 5 orders together...

If there aren't enough takers, maybe shelve it? The offer in theory isn't time bound, it's just reliant on 5 people wanting a bat at the same time, which is proving to be a pain in the (No Swearing Please)!
