VKS is a ripoff!

[TheCarromBall]

Salam brothers today I went to VKS with my dad and I took my GN Quantum L.E. with me to there just to compare and when I went there me and my dad who have been visiting there for the past 8 years were disgusted to see such cheap willow for the price of £300+. I took a look at the GM Octane Original and believe it or not it had no grains on it and all the other high end bats such as GN Legend, Maverick, Dynadrive, and GM Argon etc... Had only 6 faint grains on them. I was surprised to see so many blemishes on all the bats except the SS bats. Even the GN Legend which is a £400 was like a grade 2 bat because it had loads of blemishes and the stickers on most of the GN bats were peeling off. What is it with the quality over there? A member of staff then secretly told me and my dad that some of the bats were Kashmir Willow but they put high end stickers on them such as original limited edition and limited edition etc... I was very shocked. I don't get my stuff from VKS ' the specialists' anymore. Anyways brothers give me your views on this DISASTER and also I will send pics of my GN Quantum L.E. Thanks!

I have been going to VKS for a few years. To be honest you are making big accusations here against a established shop that I don't really feel comfortable with.

First thing some of thier bats are expensive but they may have legitimate reasons for this such as the very high rent rates in Ealing.

The accusation that they are selling Kashmir willow restickered as top grade willow is very disturbing but I find it hard to believe they would do that. It's find to say a lot of thier bats look ugly with blemishes but to say this you have to be 100% sure as you are accusing them of defrauding thier customers.

Anyway I will be making a vist soon to buy a bat and see if there is even a hint of truth to what you saying.

I am in Australia but this bit Cannot be true! no retailer would risk jail time for a few extra $$ (Fraud) when they already have such a big thing going.

sounds to me like you are really angry about something else. what really happened?

I have visited VKS a few times and these accusations do seem excessive...they normally stock good bats and the staff is also very helpful.

While i am not a massive fan of VKS i find staff really pushy into selling you VKS products which i suppose being in VKS is a given. I cant say they are stickering over crap bats dont think anyone is that bad. Sorry 90 MPH gota disagree with on this line "First thing some of thier bats are expensive but they may have legitimate reasons for this such as the very high rent rates in Ealing." Dude if you are being charged high rates then move somewhere where rates are not high simple business 101 VKS use the name "Ealing", i do feel they charge slightly higher for bats but hey you want it you pay for it.
