I can ask around to some of my former teammates to see if they're trying to move anything at the moment.

Softball bat collecting is a crazy subculture. Just like cigar smoking, if one finds a particular smoke you especially enjoy AND it's a limited run, it's not unheard of for someone to track down a dozen boxes for future use. Same thing with softball bats. There's guys that I know that still to this day have half a dozen brand new SCN3's, and those were released five, six years ago? These older bats are in higher demand because they're still ASA compliant, yet have a lot more pop in them due to the ASA a couple of years ago forcing manufacturers to comply with the 98 MPH regulation after a bat is, "broken in", not prior. Really can't speak for bats from this year, but I know the ones I hit that were made in '09 & '10 felt like logs compared to their predecessors.
