Pics of your SD bargains
« on: October 21, 2013, 01:54:12 AM »
So it seems like a lot of us took advantage of SD sale and got some good deals and some not so good. Figured we start a thread to post pics of what we got and how we rate it.

Here is what I got for my mates, 2 bats, a GN Oblivion Monster (exactly 3lbs) and GN Maverick 5 star (2lbs 9ozs). Monster is really huge, egdes are almost 50mm and no concaving, maverick is alright...pick up is not too bad on the monster and will make a nice net bat. Haven't tried the mallett or a ball on either one yet..

Here are the pics, feel free to share your bargains...

That Monster looks awesome. I'd get one myself but they aren't available on the website, did you get yours in store or have I just missed the boat?

They were available on the website - I presume they are out of stock now. Lilywhite's had one. It was huge.

Looks like I was the only one who got stitched up by Sports Direct, I was sent two Maverick Carbo harrows instead of two short handle Maverick Carbos :(

That must be annoying,  particularly not that all the bargains are out of stock. My maverick is coming tomorrow, really hope it's not harrow :(

Just got my Harrow Carbo too. They must be relisting the harrows that are returned back to them. Will be taking it up with amazon payments since SD never reply back to emails.
The kookaburra I got seems a bargain, will stick the pics up in a bit

Sports Direct online contact number is 0870 042 3879, I had an issue with an order going missing and they refunded pretty much straight away.

Best giving them a ring as close to 6pm as possible I found.

Hope you sort your issue.

I got a Harrow Carbo too. Though I emailed them and threatened them under the sale of goods act and they replied in 5 mins with a Freepost address for the return and a huge apology.

This is the very reason I never purchased any bats. Would always be very hit or miss with what you get. Mate of mine got a menace 950 with 5 grains..

At least he didn't get stung with £200's worth of import tax... ;)
