Went to a rummage sale bought a first batch scx2 for $15. Sold it for just shy of $300.
I bought 8 bats that day for $85. Sold them for $775. Kept an og velo, swung it till it was so scaled it was nuts.
I found that rummage on Craigslist, look almost everyday since. Nothing for years now, but all of those great old stamp bats aren't worth much anymore.

That started my little addiction of sbf.

I got my first DeMarini Ultimate Distance given to by the dude who owned Mika Sports in Kalihi, back when they first got released. His only stipulation was that I had to tell everyone where I got it when they asked. Back then it was being sold for $300, when most bats were going for about $75. So, I was happy to take it.

Traded a NIW 30 oz SCN9 that I got for $50 for a minty clean RD before the craze started. I used that bat for 4 years.

Also bought a clean -10 Phenix, -8 Phenix, and -9 CF3 (all 34") from PIAS for about $300. Sold all of them for about $800 total on eBay many years ago.

Played ball with a guy who has the old PST137's (Red&Black). Well we were playing and he busted one and threw it in the trash. I asked him if he was going to return it and he said no. So I took it out of the trash and he says here you can have this one also and gave me another one that was cracked. Returned them both and got 2 NIW PST137's for what cost me $20 in shipping.

In 2002 I was looking for the OG Easton Connexion ST1Z. My search led me to some guy that just closed up shop in Georgia. He told me he had 50+ of them in the warehouse and would sell them to me for $35 each.

It was about $2000 spent, and I sold them all for $125-$200..except for two that I kept.

So you made out on the deal and stiffed your brother?

Dexter had a brother that got the short end of the stick also....just sayin.

how did my brother get stiffed? he actually preferred the m7598 and got an extra $50. he was happy. he didn't and still doesnt know jack **** about bats. on top of that, he stopped playing softball after that year.

and that dexter reference was not good. totally different. dexter and his brothers were both killers but had a completely different code. my brother and i share the same code
