[dcrules01]

He has 2 game used bat for David Wright a Louisville slugger and a Marucchi..Any opinion the Marruchi looks good and consistent with David wright Marruchi bats but the Louisville Slugger looks barely used and I wanted a rookie bat for him.Has anyone dealt with him??

Thanks

in this day in age where you can get a bat from Wright himself via LockerRoom or from the Mets i don't know why people would pick up stuff like this. I like to know where stuff come from.

The LVS was from another auction from an auction house that was auctioning off a Beltran game used bat, the Wright LVS bat, a Pedro Martinez game bat, and one other bat in a lot. (Note: the martinez and beltran are also for auction.) I think the whole lot sold for like $500 or $600 or so. They would turn a good profit if all of those bats sold. The Wright looks to be game issued.

I bought from him in the past and it was all good. However, I saw these bats and balked. Something feels off on the LVS.

[frikativ54]

I can't say for these bats, but I have had nothing but positive dealings with this seller. He seems like a good guy to work with.

[brianborsch]

Sorry, the bats he is selling were in a lot from grey flannel auctions. There were like 5 bats: Wright, martinez, Beltran, Glavine, and Piazza. The Wright is certainly a game issued bat. The auction on greay flannel stated so.

[dcrules01]

That was my guess and the fact that he has not responded to my questions and doubts about the lack of use.Locker Room Memorabilia had 2 on there site that were sold but the pictures remained and the 2 bats were hammered.Thanks for the input

His bats are readily available and the Mets are asking $1500 for a cracked and uncracked.Locker Room has not had any available for quite sometime.At least when Steiner was selling the bats a broken bat ran between $300-$500..I had 5 but due to my wifes health issues and medical bills I was forced to sell them.I had a log in a notebook in 2007 he broke about 35 bats going into August and broke 3 bats in one game that was the Marruchi.I would like a Louisville Slugger or Rawlings he used them his rookie season.But to me a $1500 price tag is way to steep..

I talked with the seller, and he told me that he actually paid over $1100 for the Grey Flannel lot. So - he's not getting back as much in return as you claim. He says that he did not buy the lot to make a quick buck, but rather because he wanted the Piazza and Glavine bats. He then decided to sell all the rest.

[brianborsch]

I'm sorry,

I thought I mentioned that in my second post. After I found it on Grey Flannell again, I noticed that it ended for $1,100. I have nothing against people making money on items. What's wrong with buying cheap and selling high? That's business.

[dcrules01]

I agree with that I have done that buying and selling.My problem is he is selling this bat as game used..It is one thing to buy low and sell high it's another thing to misrepresent an item.And btw he has responded to your questions but he has not responded to mine.

I just wrote him, and I made sure to address your questions. I'll let you know what he says. Sorry that you feel the bat is misrepresented; if you are that uncomfortable with it, I'd recommend staying away. But I'll make sure that we get to the botttom of this, so that collectors everywhere will feel comfortable bidding on his items.

[dcrules01]

Thanks and let me know but I have had a few people email me that are Mets collectors and they said stay away but I am curious to what he says..

[gameu08]

He has finally paid for the bat that I previously said he never did. Also he is a forum member from what I can gather, so maybe he can clear this up.

thanks,
Mike

I know that he is not a forum member. I haven't heard back from him yet, but I'll let you know what he says.

[gameu08]

he is a forum member because he stated to me..."I'd appreciate it if you updated the forum stating that I paid for your bat."

- museumbats

so he certainly is a forum member

Doesn't mean he is a member. I have dealt with him before, so I sent him this thread, asking for his comment. He is only aware of this thread, because I sent it to him! He has told me specifically that he is not a member here, and that he hasn't regularly read GUU for quite some time now.

[dcrules01]

He replied back to me also that the lot was purchased from Grey Flannel..I asked him why the Wright bat was listed as a Game Used and if he could show me the documentation on Grey flannels findings,,Here is the one from ebay and the 2 that were sold on Locker Room Memorabilia..Thanks everyone again

What did he say about why he called the bat with funny black marks game used?

[frikativ54]

I talked with museumbats, and he told me that he thought he represented the bat honestly. He didn't say there were ball marks on it, or anything like that. You have to understand that there was pine tar and mota stick on the bat, so it was more than just game-issued. Maybe it should have been called game-ready, but he did NOT doctor the bat. He got it from a Grey Flannel lot, and that was how it came. He did NOT take it to the cages and hit the ball around with it. I have worked with museumbats before, and I can state that I feel 100% trust working with the guy. And this is in a hobby where all too often I can't trust people. So - if you don't want this bat, I understand. But I would be loath to throw out accusations before you know the facts and the history of the bat.

[dcrules01]

I posted pictures to compare and stop making accusations that I accused him of doctoring the bat.Where did I mention ball marks Get your facts straight before throwing accusations.I requested the documentation on Grey flannels findings from him.I also got the opinion of 2 Mets collectors whose opinion I value very highly.The bat compared to the other 2 has no use at all.Does that mean he did not use it no..I have seen a ton of Wright bats and the ones with little use have been cracked or broken..Also there is a big difference between a Game Used bat and a Game Ready bat..
