Can you tell me when Eric ordered bats that meet the above specifications and how many he ordered.

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

Sorry about the above entry and I didn't think it was going to be a bunch of headers as I merely did a cut and paste...

I have asked for an administrator to edit or remove...

The bottom line is that all I did was try to get some information from X Bats and got someone in CS who thinks Game Used Collectors are stupid and have IQ's less than 30 and that 99% of the stuff is fake...great attitude and public relations!!!

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

I knew there was a good reason I dont have any X Bats in my collection. Aside from them selling player versions to the public now I have another reason!

[bigjimsguitars]

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

I paid about $140.00 shipped for an Eric Gagne X-Bat and it actually has one discernible ball mark and some rack marks and such. I was just merely trying to get a time line to attempt to photo-match and got a bunch of attitude from some obviously person who either hates his job or those who collect GU, or both.

Yes, it's scary that they would offer the General Public Player Model bats that for what they tell you on their website are exactly the same....

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

I have also tried to contact them and I get the same response. They are probably THE WORST BAT COMPANY IN REGARDS TO CUSTOMER SERVICE and not to mention they have no security measures to prevent fraudulent bats from hitting the market. In fact, it seems that they are willing to see the bats that players get just to make money since no other companies do that.

They have sucky ownership, their bats look generic, and hopefully they go out of business sometime soon.

I'm amazed that a company can exist with such a piss poor attitude to the public. I too wish them a swift demise and know that I will not be buying another X bat unless it is personally handed to me from the actual player and that is after I tell the player what a bunch of hapless losers they are!

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

Thats too bad. Earlier this year I bought a Bonds autographed Xbat from Bonds Auth. I emailed XBats and asked in 2007 if he had ordered any, they gave me the order history and number of bats and confirmed it was made for him for game use. It was a good experiance.

Brian,

Not sure who you spoke with in customer service but I just e-mailed them last night about their W.S. bats for sale on their website and got a timely response today.

X-bats stated that the player model bats being sold on their web site will have Pro Trophy on the barrel and the pro players game bats have Pro Model.

Also I noticed that Manny Ramirez bats from the ALCS and World Series dont have the team name branded on the bat like the ones offered on the web site

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

They are full of it....look at the WS bats they are offering to the public, it clearly says Pro Model and Not Pro Thophy...

I'm not the only person who has received an angry reply from them!

For the record, my Gagne bat says Pro Model, but if you read between the lines of the emails I got back from them, 99% of the game used stuff is crap that has their moniker on it....gee, why would they say that!

[bigjimsguitars]

Re: The Response I got from X Bats

Is it me or does it seem that X Bats have no problem making you the exact same bat as the pro's order so it would be all to easy to pass it off as a gamer. Then when you inquire about them they blow you off and say, hey you are a moron and that 99% of the stuff being sold as X Bats isn't game used...

They should be proactive and provide the public with good information instead of to continue to sell the exact same bat to the public...

Gee, I would love to order some nice jersey's with pro tagging and in effect that is exactly what they are doing for profit, not cool at all....

bigjim,

Where does it "clearly" say pro model on the W.S. bats listed on the X-bat website??? Also the exact bat pictured may be different from the ones being produced and sold, which I think will have Pro Trophy below the 2007 World Series.

Heres an X-bat of Carl Crawford with Pro Maple 34 on the barrel. Thats how the pro players bats are labled.
