I wasn't trying to be rude, just simply asked another question as a rebuttal.
I value the opinions of all of you on this board. Otherwise you are right I wouldn't ask questions.
I have a 26oz NR Wanted 14 with like 20 swings. Can't get a good feel for it. Is this one of those badass combats that I should keep or get rid of.
What bat would you compare this to - pop, distance wise?
If you like your Spiked I'd keep the Wanted. They take more hits to break in than most. I'd say mine hasn't reached it's full potential yet.
I'd also say you can't get a really good feel for a bat in only 20 swings, especially if they're spread out across several bp sessions with other bats as well. If you're not going to commit to the Wanted you may not want to keep it. I was trying to break my 13 ASA Wanted when my love affair with it started. I'd say it took me 500 swings to get the feel of it and love it. That's obviously when it broke in all the way, but still. IF you want to commit to it, I THINK it will reward you, but that's up to you. I've never even seen you play.

I will try the wanted a couple more times at bp.If you like your Spiked I'd keep the Wanted. They take more hits to break in than most. I'd say mine hasn't reached it's full potential yet.

Combats are nice bats, but the resale yikes the 99 for niw with receipt bat doesn't help either.

Those are last years models though. The newer ones will pull a higher price.
On a side note I'll be recieving one of these portents in and selling it when I recieve it. Or maybe someone will get it for SS who knows. Lol.

When the 15s are available in stores I would be shocked if SBF price wasn't around 210 for NIW.
If I was going to sell my 2015 NR derby boys I would ask 150 and probably accept 140 is someone offered.
As far as the Wanteds Some people don't like the stiffer feel in a two piece bat. And they take some time to break in. 100+ or more hits for me. Most people Ive talked to also prefer the 13sover the 14s also.
I'd put 100 more swings on it and see if your attitude changes at all. For the price they are selling for its probably better to just keep it.

Well there was someone on here a few days ago selling 3 used, no return, 15 Combats for $65 each. He had a Wanted, Derby Boy, and Portent. 2 of the 3 sold fast.

I was just pointing out what was available and what it sold for. Tracking and webbing is common so I don't see that impacting price much. I agree with your $125 price point. I feel that is a fair assessment.

I'd say $150-160 is a moveable price. Nice bat btw

I paid $120 for no return 2015 Wanted G3 ASA. Asking price was $150.

I bought the 15 ASA Portent & DB NIW w/ return for $170 each. Love em both, but sold Portent purely bc of $$ reasons. Tried selling DB but got zero interest even at $150. In short, I've concluded that if you buy Combat, you should plan on keeping til it busts or be willing to sell for dirt cheap, FWIW.

That's what I was initially trying to tell the op. The bats are good but the resale isn't.
