I thought my eyes were failing me when I saw $1800! The GN Legend was bad enough at over $1000, but really? How can they even justify it? I thought it might've come with a 2nd training bat for that coin.

Does it come with a coach? A beautiful cheerleader? Or a pair of bowlers to help you knock the bat in the nets?

[Nmcgee]

Ridiculous. I'm not sure why these small brands think their bats are worth $1000plus. If I can get a bat handmade by SK at GN in Melbourne for less, what's your justification?

[GoodLeave]

I like how it's marked down from $1800 to $1800. Bargain.

Clever bit of marketing in my book to get people talking/looking at the brand.

If someone actually buys one...quids in, if not topics like these will help raise the brands profile and awareness.

That's what its got to be about, but I do think at that price they should  have put a bit more effort in to the sales pitch and made it seem more exclusive!

 I doubt anyone will actually buy one as I can't see what makes it special.

Love the blurb on the company:

"This season I am heavily supporting Grade cricketers, Country cricketers, Womens cricket, Indigenous cricket, All abilities Cricket & International Cricket."

so that's about everyone then!!

This reminded me of the $1000 "I am rich" iPhone app

You could argue that this is an $1,800 butterfly bat...

Wouldn't it be nice if the cricket market was less full of chancers selling overpriced tat because they think they can get away with it.

[well past my peak]

had anyone ever heard of them before this post?

yes absolutely, so perhaps the forum, and others not just this one, do have a positive effect making club cricketers more aware of what is out there, more info,more knowledge and a more informed decision about how to buy-bats especially now some prices have gone into orbit.

Retailers and manufacturers offering good products at the right prices,with good customer service, will still flourish regardless of how much information is in the marketplace.

Sort of, I'd seen one of the original butterfly stickers bats years ago, and found this incarnation through google images.

I noticed D. Dottin using them in the Womens World T20, thought the stickers were really nice so googled them. Massively shocked when I saw the prices!
