You can find out so much using this site. By searching xenon I found out that Brad Haddin will be using it.

Info like this is dangerous. This thread alone is showing people with no insight into cost of running a proper set up will throw wild accusations about.

Minus cost from selling price and get there knickers in a twist. Forgetting everything inbetween.

As Smilley says. Tenfold.

If only everything in life was as cheap as the original manufacturing cost...

I wonder what would happen if you go to a factory and ask for a bat. If you were able to buy one, how much do you think the factory would sell it for if it was a grade 1 bat?

For a grade 2 ss bat, manufacturing cost is roughly 112 aud, which I find fair

Sorry , are these publicly available information ? if not is it ethical to post this kind of information here?

I remember there is some rule about we can't discuss who makes bats for whom in this forum , so I was surprised to see this kind of information posted here.

Apologies if these are  publicly available information.

Quite interesting that some bats were named as players' profiles instead of the model name like most others - www.zauba.com/export-players-profile-cricket-bat-hs-code.html. There's special batch of 4 Pro bats with V600 stickers at a specified weight.

And a couple for specific players - www.zauba.com/export-v360-players-cricket-bat-hs-code.html

Let me tell you this for a fact .....

Going to cost £1000 to ship 12 boxes of softs from India to Uk

Then to release it I have to Add on 20% vat to the product cost.

I agree. Though the price is the price - irrelevant of these figures... but you are right - could effect demand.

I think it is really interesting and actually am a little bit geeky when it comes to things like this.

Just used this as an example of direct and indirect costs for my Y12 kids.

Is that shipped or air?

I had 14 full boxes sent for £300 by Sea - cost nearly £800 in extra fees mind, the most expensive part was the landing agent in the UK (rip off merchants!). Costs by Air are substantially higher though, roughly £120 per box or something along those lines

that's what you call teaching with 'live data'. Love it.

Do you have the forum on when you are teaching?

I admit this is dangerous. But it also provides a great insight into the quantities and raw values we're dealing with.

Do need to bear in mind these manufacturers sell to the retailer who will take their cut, so aren't making that fully as mark-up.

They also have massive sponsorship fees, employ staff and will need to pay import tax/duties on this. Not massive margins. Sports D/Slaz are in the best position, as they sell through their own stores
