What are model names for Chase, R11, R7 & R4? Lets say R11 is top of the line and R4 is bottom with R7 in middle.
Consider this: If this bat had Chase R7 stickers on and selling for 160 GBP would you have purchased it? I would have considered it, looks decent for second level in a range of 3. So where does the problem lie? well here is the problem (as I see it): Chad paid for a top of the line bat that was discounted, so were the lower ranges, he got a bat that doesn't look top of the line but instead R7 (I wouldn't take it down to R4) for the price of R11, that is where the disappointment is.
The way I see it: It does not matter what he paid for this bat, he paid for top of the line from that brand yet got a bat that does not look like top of the line. If there was no sale would everyone have accepted this bat as true representation of Chase R11 FLC? NO. So then why accept it when it is on sale? other lower end Chase models were also on sale so based on this if I were Chad I would say I got a G2 bat for G1 money, we criticized other brands for this past.
This also makes me think abt another thought that has been floated around, companies send inferior stock (ever so slightly) labelled as higher grades to generic sites/stores that they know will get customers who either don't have a choice but to buy online or knowledge so pay whatever is being charged. Lord's Chase, PDC - Salix and few other examples we have seen.
Just my 2 cents.
