Are any of these bats worth $20?

[Toph]

Some local guy on Craigslist posted he had some softball bats from his old church league for sale for $20 each.

He sent me this picture of the bats and I was checking to see if there were any good ones on there that would actually be worth anything.

I see an Ultimate Weapon that looks decent and a SC777 Connexion but I really don't know what they are worth currently.

Anybody know if there is a diamond in the rough in this batch of old bats?

 

[Ncweidner]

Worth EST is not bad for $20

 

[bakers dozen]

The est for sure.

 

[dttruax]

Those old red lines are pretty good too.....

 

[hinzy]

That Dirk Androff TPS was one of the first bats I ever purchased..... It's decent

 

[andy-rockstar]

2nd from the right is one of those good old TPS singlewalls, right?

Other than that Black Magic (3rd from right), those are all decent deals for $20 each.

 

[Toph]

Yeah but are they worth anything?

Nobody plays metal leagues around here so they are pretty much useless to me but I figured if one or two of them was worth $60 or more, I might pick it up and flip it to a board bro who needed it.

 

[just moonshots!]

Not much is resale value there but some good bats for $20/piece. I'd get the redline, tps and est if it were me..

 

[dcheezey]

They aren't worth anything if they have flat spots in them.

 

[j-sig]

none of them are worth more than 50 pbly so for resale to make money would be a bust really. but that est for 20 is a good deal

 

[Hacksaw34]

If i found them at a garage sale and had some money to burn I would get the est or connexion

 

[OldManThreeNuts]

Pretty sure you could offer less than $20. Since it's CL you could also offer "services" instead.

 

[lcky3]

As long as they have no flat spots, dents, or waves, I would pick up the Ultimate Weapon and EST for sure. With the new 52/300 ball, they should hit it very well.

That is, depending on whether they will still be legal after May 15th.

 

[Frisco Kid]

The Ultimate Weapon, the Worth, and the Louisville Slugger.

 

[pirates33]

The Dirk Androff TPS was one of the top 5 old school single wall bats in my opinion

 

[ninerempire25]

the EST, Redline & Connexion are all good BP.

worth the $20...IMO

 

[bat monger]

I bet if you offered $60, you could get all of them.

 

[The Crimedog]

I would pay $20 for every one of those, minus the Connection.

I would actually like that C405, maybe.

The endcsp is worth $20

Don't sleep on the Black Magic. I'd put it up against many of the singlewalls today. Not the top tier, but the Ultimate Weapon and Pyrotech.

 

[g8orguy]

I'd pay $20 for the Ultimate weapon and the EST. And I'd also offer $50 for them all.

 

[muskaaron]

i would buy all of them...ijs

 

[Donger73]

if your hitting ASA .52 cor balls, I'd say either of the Easton's are GTG

 

[ktown808]

They aren't worth anything if they have flat spots in them.

Ummm...yah...okay

 

[Gamble]

That SZ1-C (the Redline C-Core, for those who don't speak Easton) is a model that can bring $100+ with decent frequency. Really depends on condition, but that was one of the bats to have in its time.

 

[xjarcher]

If you buy them I'll buy the TPS from ya. It would be a gift for an old guy on my team.

You sir know your Eastons, had a couple of these back in the day and they were fantastic!

just to have a Dirk in the bag is worth 20$

Good point. I found that metal bats seem to hit those balls better. If I remember right the Connection was a pretty good bat.

 

[peacemaker]

sz1c definitely worth 20. good single wall bat there.
