Bat That I Won On EBay.
« on: December 21, 2010, 06:42:57 AM »
I was looking through eBay last night and I spotted a signed Warsop bat. It's full size and weighs approx 2.12. Put a cheeky bid in and won it, do you reckon I send it of to get returned and have those signatures removed.

Here is the bat

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270681694120&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_722wt_922

If they won't come off £11 quid ain't much to have spent.

Might be worth sending Warsop an e-mail first or giving them a call (or e-mail with the link so they can see it) to ask about what type of bat it is and to check that it would be worth it but must be worth a shot! Hell of a good spot - hats off!

chances are this isnt made from english willow of any descriprion, looks like a proper autograph bat, they pick up like a bunch of lead and are purely for display purposes.

theres some leicestershire signed ones at my club that are the same - sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Id say that its not a bat worth using as its specifically labelled Autograph.
It must be worth more than £11 to an Essex/cricket fan.
Id hang on to it, well spotted there fella.

Mr Cricket - Don't worry about being the bearer of bad news, I'll be pleasantly surprised if it was anything other than a lead plank, but for 11 quid I didn't think it was to bad.

My top bid was £6 and I went to bed not expecting to have won. Could get close to my £11 back by selling stickers and using the grip!

Im only going to be interested in it if it's got potential to be used as a bat. If not, it's being resold, hopefully for the 11 quid I payed!

I will be selling it most probably whether it's only a suitable for autographs or if it's a good batting bat.

Will have to wait till it comes in the new year

I'm not keeping it if it's not useable as a bat, had a few people make offers on here for it and I will resell it as I'm not an Essex fan.
