We are fine with bats in our household but DD wants to try the CF8 and I only want to spend $200. How long or when do you think before it hits rock bottom, it will be 34/24. I see the new CF9 will drop around 6/1, will it be just before this to clear out inventory, or in the fall after the new is established?

I have been looking for a used cf5 or cf6 29/18 and with the prices I'm finding at used, I can almost buy new. I decided to get a quote from core on the cf8 the other day. I was pleased and haven't found anything close online as far as price goes and he's been super helpful answering any questions . I did decide to give it a few more days to see if anything used will come up reasonably priced, but it's looking unlikely. If doesn't happen, I will buy new from core.

I got a cf8 from him 5 months ago and paid more than $200. What's your secret to "special" core prices....

You did get special prices like everybody else...I do not sell any CF8s 200 or under. My prices are the same low price
from day one a bat is released until I don't stock anymore. I don't try and rip people off when bats are first released
so I can make a mint, then lower as time goes buy. I don't believe in that BS.

That's why when people try to beat me up over 5 bucks, I tell them to buy there then. I don't have time for nonsense. But
if they have issues, don't ask me for help.

I had a guy that text me for 2 years asking about bats and wanting new info...yada yada. Asked for prices every month.
Like a month ago, I finally told him to lose my number. Told me he found a bat for like 5 bucks less somewhere. I told him
buy from there, and get the owners personal cell and text him with all your questions and see how that works out for him.

No secret. Nothing special. Maybe my memory is off. I'm getting old, and it was almost a year ago. I have no reason to believe I got any preferential treatment before or will in the future. He told me a price. I liked it. I bought a bat. No haggling or bargaining. I found him to be honorable in his dealings with me. He also offered great insight into the products available and allowed me (DD really) to make a decision. If he's ever given anyone a better price than he gave me, that's between him and whoever. Still feel really good about my experience. Next time we're bat shopping, he'll hear from me again.
