That would be down to the discretion of the admin. But being in the open is much more advisable than pm's

Guys, You can't PM offering bats. It has been a rule change. It all needs to be in the open. The fact the guy hasn't got the posts required means he shouldn't be asking for bats.

What is the point in rules if we are breaking them left right and centre?

Considering I already own a bat from one of the forum sponsors I don't think it's putting anyone at risk by simply asking if anyone has anything to sell. I haven't asked for PM's and I would much rather if anyone is interested in selling that they posted details and pictures in this topic. I understand that the rule change is there to protect people but I think anyone over 100 posts is fairly regular on here. I know there are guys who have thousands of posts but it does still take a while to hit 100. I don't agree that I shouldn't be asking for bats considering I have previously had enough posts to view the for sale section. Just seems a tad unfair to me to change this rule...

I'm not saying you are not trust worthy. But the actions of a few have tarnished a large amount of people.

Yep unfortunately. I know we need to have a way of stopping people from posting up to 50 to get access to the wanted/sale section but I do find it to be a tad unfair on those of us who have a genuine interest in contributing to the board and then also slightly ironic when we have to post these in the normal sections.

But anyway, looking to keep it under £100, I used to have a Luna 606 that was lovely but too heavy.

Btw why don't you buy a new bat from 606 range?  Most of them are going under £100. According to GM they don't grade there bats for performance, they do it for looks.

Because I already have a good match bat, am really just looking for something that I really like using but to keep as a backup of if its on a damp wicket.

After giving my GM Epic (had thought it needed a lot more knocking plus too heavy for me) a go in the nets this week which went well, I decided to use it in my match today. Managed to hit 80* off 69 balls using it, bat felt much better than it had during winter nets. Looking forward to the bat opening up more on today's basis.
