Why is a bat stamped no return a bad thing?

[Zaioun]

Why is a bat stamped no return considered bad? Or if not bad a negative about the bat. Isn't the same thing? And is it better to get a used bat with expired receipt or brand new bat stamped no return?

NR's aren't bad....they just won't have the resale value of a returnable bat.

I'd rather buy a NIW no return than a used "returnable" bat. But that's just me and my OCD. Plus you get to save a few bucks.

Returnable bats are only more valuable to warranty cheaters, but there must be a lot of them, because the NR's are almost always cheaper. Heck I may have even said "would you take $10 less, it's a NR", and yet I've never even came tried to return a bat.

Not return pays for apples. Turtles.

It's not - most of us will not legitimately use it, kind of like those warranties Walmart tries to sell you...

"Would you like a 12 month warranty on your $10 toaster for only $3.99?" Just another sales tactic!

Wouldn't be surprised at all to see them go away, ala Monsta, Anarchy, Mizuno, etc. That helps them keep the cost down>>>all the expenses of warranties go away>>>better bats for less $

What?

Most comapanies only honor the warranty for the original purchaser. When you buy a used bat that is not a NR, break it, and then try to return it, you're cheating the bat company. Someone who do not intend to do that loses no value when they buy a NR bat. However, I have probably mentioned that a bat was a NR when the asking price was either more than I had, or more than I thought a bat was worth.

Exactly...All these not legit returns only jack up the prices for everyone. Seriously, besides wear and tear, how many people legit crack a bat within 365 days? Maybe 5%...

That's a defect in my eyes and should be covered, not someone who put thousands of hits on a bat...

I swing pretty hard, and have some team mates who swing pretty hard, 99%of the time my bats fail compression before they break. but that damn warranty is totally worth 100 bucks! lol. niw nr is the way to go in my opinion

except the cost of an anarchy with no warranty is more than a worth or miken with a warranty

It's not a bad thing, but worth less. Even the guy who says it doesn't matter uses it as a negotiation tool to pay less for a bat.

Why not buy A niw bat with a return for $180-$200 then only spend $120 for one with no return ?

Back in the day I would because there was no way I was going to bust it in a year and I planned on keeping it as long as it would last. I won't any longer because the chances of me either breaking it or having it fail compression is a real concern in under a year. It doesn't always happen, but it does way more than in GA.
