Awesome. Was a similar message given on the BS website, as I initially questioned?

  I would have thought so and maybe the prices for the white label the keeley where asking was higher than they wanted to pay maybe.

I have no affinity to either brand like the look of the stickers I saw on the keeley "Northeast" and would like to know more as a badger

I also think the keeley bringing there own brand out will be very good for UK makers and bespoke makers in the long run too

But Dave, we've been told Indian bats are no cheaper to buy in! ;)

By who I suggest they need to go to India to see, the margins have gone smaller but there still a margin

A English bat costs around £110 pound to make included overheads that's the rough estimate with wages cleft handle and electricity the whole Shabang.

So  110 pound before it leaves a uk factory

That's roughly the same no matter what grade.

Now the sub continents overhead will be less.

So base price may be different plus profit

I suspect the maximum profit based on bats is around 22 per cent uk at the top end even less reduced lower down the grades you go.

Funny so many hardworking uk makers working over 50 hours a week are called greedy on here yet they don't drive a Ferrari

Ah look, established members trying to rubbish a 'new' member for daring to differ in opinion. Just like I predicted yesterday.

But Dave, we're told how expensive top grade willow is these days...it's what allows breakaway batmakers to charge £550 for top grade, who 3 years ago left an established maker because they disagreed with charging £400 for top grade...

Top grade wood is not not that more expensive than any other grade.

The only time I tried to buy a bat from you was when I requested pics of a certain model, and you sent me pics of a different model.
