Folks, a heads up, we are besieged just at the moment with counterfeit bats and stickers coming from India and Pakistan, increasingly available through the net. Be warned!

(1) If a bat looks too good to be true, it probably is. Like, we haven't made it!
(2) If you can buy stickers on the net, they will be counterfeit.

If you see any unusual looking "GM" bats or prices, please feel free to let me know on elowy@unicorngroup.com

Kind regards

Edward

loads of bats on ebay with fake stickers!! should all be shot!

I think all stickers sales should be banned,if you buy a GM,Puma,GN or what ever,why do you then want to turn around and pretend its something else,its only to decieve,i dont think anyone on here would remove stickers on a top maker to put on a brand that is not so respected even though the stickers may look better!!If you want original stickers because you have refurbed a bat yourself take/send the bat to the maker to have them applied and returned to you!!
I know people on here will say i like the bat but the stickers are awful so i want to replace them.I realy like the Laver or M&H or what ever stickers so whats the harm as i am not planning to sell the bat
What is everyone elses opinion?

But you just said "loads of bats on ebay with fake stickers!! should all be shot!"

so its ok with you as long as the stickers are original,even though it could be a crap bat with an expensive makers stickers?
But if you really like the stickers but cant get original??

Sorry if it sounds like i want an argument,

noooo

selling bats with fake stickers claming them to be orginal is bad news. thats what i was getting at in the 1st post.

restickering bats with genuine stickers i think is fine. ive restickered a few bats with fake stickers before just because they looked awfull. but would never sell them on as reall bats.

snafu · « **Reply #8 on:** July 05, 2011, 12:35:41 PM »

Yes,but the person you sell it to,or the one after that?can you guarantee it doesn't go on sale as original.
You load the gun,but someone else fires the shot!!
I think you are missing the point,
a crap bat restickered with original stickers is just as bad in my book as someone will be expecting a decent performing bat
Sorry Simmy,i am not having a pop at you personaly

Did you sticker up the lam you currently have on sale or did you purchase it stickered up ?

snafu · « **Reply #11 on:** July 05, 2011, 12:57:13 PM »

I saw some original newbery krackatoa stickers on here the other day, i could buy those and put them on a bat from ebay that i pay a tenner for (example), use it in a couple of matches and "not get on with it" so put it for sale (seemingly a �180 bat) for whatever it sells for �120+ i would imagine
Or do the same with lekka stickers,everyone that sees it in a match or picks it up, thinks good grief what a plank are all lekkas the same?
your product would soon get a bad reputation as no-one would want to take the risk of ending up with a simular bat

Very good points but I only sell my own brand stickers which will never be applied to bats supplied by the Alliance.

If uv typed that correctly...u only sell ur stickers that never go on ur bats?

Surely u mean u only sell ur sticekrs to go on ur own bats at which point there is no guarantee they will
