I think Marcus's (M77) stunning decals add around £75 to the value, if not more.  Top drawer stuff - I've seen a lot of bats, and a lot of decals, but none better than these Platinum ones.  For those who agree with me about how stunning they look, how does this affect your perception of the price?

Difficult comment this, because while a bat with beautiful branding does make a difference, nothing adds that much for me.

 As the blank bat guys have shown it is quality of product that gives me the best value.

I love the branding on many bats, chase, gm, salix, Newbery, choice, h4l and more, but it is the bat which matters far more for me.

Maybe you have to see them in the flesh first, Buzz.  Not a major one, and don't want to clog up the thread with discussion on it, but given all the comments on pricing it's worth a mention I feel...

no I haven't seen them, but I watched your YouTube video, which isn't enough I grant you, but in principle I buy the bat, not the stickers

Personally I don't think stickers (decals) should add any price to a bat at all, it's all about the quality of the stick. I do like the front sticker on the Hammers, very clean looking and not to busy, not personally a fan of the back, but I know a lot of other people would be.

What's people's thoughts on this little beauty I've found

Roco where you playing next season? Staying at Knockin? We went up and you went down I believe, so would be good to try and have another go at that death bowling you seem to do pretty well at
