I knew that was coming lol. That's fine man, I wanted to sell it at the time and if people are stupid enough to let previous purchase price effect their judgement then so be it! Doesn't change the item in question!!

Latest reply from gm....

Your contact of sale is with the retailer who sold you the goods, thismakes them legally obliged to deal with you problem.

The seller is not responding...

thats really poor from gm as it is their product and they should be responsible if it breaks. especially if its their top of the range model. i would not be impressed i feel real sorry 4 u mate. the best thing to do is tape it up and hope for the best.

The standard procedure with GM is to send it to the retailer who will then determine whether a swap/refund or whether to send it to GM for a repair. When you buy off Ebay you don't get the guarantees you do in a shop, willow is a natural product and can break at any time, so you can't really claim anything off the ebay seller as you have used the bat, just one of the risks with buying off ebay.

cheers for me lables outlaw unlucky for me my ca i put them on broke in 2 lol

Do you have a link to the original auction? Also a copy of the guarantee from GM which you get with their new bats?

[Talisman]

I'll have the bat if GM won't do anything, I know I'll get it replaced without a moments doubt.

[ianbuchanan]

i was gonna ask, is the bat still for sale?

[bucko2007]

Hey guys thanks for your input... I finally got in contact with the seller through his ebay account. He said I should send him the bat and then he will contact GM for me!! The bat isn't for sale unfortunately Ian. Thanks for your offer Talisman, hopefully the guy will be able to sort it for me, but if that fails then I'll give you a shout!

[Talisman]

Be careful sending the bat back as you will need to record what he has offered to do and also the sending of the bat. Last thing you want is for the bat to go missing. I've been waiting for a Warsop Venom for 3 weeks that has gone missing.

Cheers!

Could just be wear and tear as per normal on willow, but it looks suspiciously like wind damaged timber. It would crack like that in a few places on the bat equally spaced down the blade until eventually it snaps.

A more informed opinion on this as a possibility would be appreciated. It's worth posing the question though.

[bucko2007]

I understand that it is a natural product and wear and tear is normal, but I have only used it a hatful of times... this is not what you expect when you pay so much for a bat.

Has anyone got any advice on how to package the bat to send off? I lost the original box mine came in and I cannot find a similar one!!

put in the bat cover and wrap it it in bubble sheet.

Bat Cover?!
