I pm'd ya...if that's your choice, was a decent price for new. Good luck
Does Richard's or Dunham's even carry the CC?
I've never seen a high end bat at Dunham's and Richard's only carries their mainline stuff from what I've seen. The best prices you're going to get is from someone on here or online somewhere.
I was just checking my pm's and I got a lead from core. I checked it out and I don't think I'm going to get a better deal on the carbon candy than $164.
I don't think it's the CF9 barrel. CF9 was the first year for the Paraflex composite, and I could have sworn they used a different composite for the CC. I think they were trying to bring back the nostalgia for the CF8 and fell flat. I mean if it was just a repainted CF8 and said that, they would have sold like hotcakes
