Aus retailers have not reflected pricing against a strong Aus $ so when Aus$ bought 50p the legend would be in pounds term 397 pounds.

Australia retailers are skimming the market banking on that most consumer are stupid in Australia

Yes they can if they have full control over their product rather than just applying stickers to ready made bats of a certain grade.


Sweet, so which of the forum sponsors can offer me this currently?

Mate just got a new Laver and its face was flat as a pancake.

I know for a fact they can do it for you.

Personally I really like the flat faced bats. The thinking behind it is that more willow is on contact With the ball on impact thus increasing power and performance. I do find that you really need to make sure i
You knock the bat in espicially the edges as there is less give.

A lot of companies, GN, GM, Salix have flat faced bats in the majority of the range.

You're kidding yourself if you think the retailers are making any more margin on the equipment, the manufacturers yesn retailers no. The legends are as good as you get though, I am yet to see anything that compares.

Welcome to Australia thats whats with the huge cost - this is why I buy bats from the sponsors on here - get a cracking bat for half the price of a top big named bat over here, including postage from the UK

I 100% Agree - Got my BB L.E (slightly used) for $320 including postage. Cracking stick and at an incredibly good price.

I remember when I first went on holiday to Oz, planned on getting some of their gear that is only available in Oz/NZ. Lets just say the prices changed my mind - People down under do well from this forum,  in fact we all do to be fair but them especially. Saves a lot of dollar!

Was planning on getting some GN softs whilst over there in the winter, the softs that are only available in Aus, really like the look of them, but the prices will be ridiculous compared to over here
