GM Apex Original
« on: January 21, 2011, 12:51:46 PM »
I have been offered a Gunn & Moore Apex Original (2010) model, and given I know sod all about GM, was wondering what people would pay for this second hand. Cost my mate £230, used it last game of the season and 3 net sessions.

I netted with it last Sunday at Shrewsbury school and although it's a 2.8lb, I really liked it. Went like a rocket. He has said to me £180, but considering I have just ordered a bat from Matt @ H4L this morning, I think that might be a bit steep. However I know nothing of GM bats in general

Anyone have any opinions? I could probably take a couple of pics on Sunday night as Ive asked him to bring it along again.

Cheers in advance

Will

What do you want it for? If it's a net bat, then I reckon that's a bit pricey, especially as you have the H4L on the way, which will be a beauty! If it's a match bat, then are you willing to pay that much?

GM generally aren't bad bats!

I would have said somewhere round the 100 mark for a second hand one.

To be honest mate, I don't NEED it I suppose. Just really got on well with it in the nets, and always fancied a GM! It would probably only be a netting bat, and if I'm honest, 3rd bat in line behind the H4L and Distinction. I had £100 in mind if I was paying for it

Think this bloody forum is rubbing off on me! However, he is looking to sell and I could probably get some pics up on Sunday to see if any of the chaps off here are interested

I suspect he wouldn't be happy with £100 for it...

No I don't think so either. I have never bought off the shelf bats mate, so don't really know what's worth what if you know what I mean. Still, it's a lovely bat though! I enjoyed using it anyway

He's just text me actually saying £150...still getting the impression that's too high.

He is a mate after all and don't want to see him part with it for the sake of it

I've just asked him that, said if the price was right he would consider it. I personally wouldn't sell it, I think it's a gem, but I'm not going to pay £150 for it, when I know what I can get on here from the various guys

first impressions aren't always lasting ones... keep your money in your pocket I reckon.

Jimba sold one recently for about £100, so £150 is way high

The only question you need to keep in mind is, if this bat is so good why is he selling it?

If he wants decent money tell him to sell it on ebay. Condition depending he'll probably get about 130ish plus postage. To us guys it probably wouldnt shift for a ton.
