Selling a cricket bat in High Wycombe
High Wycombe was the furniture-making capital of the country — chair making in particular, using beech from the Chiltern woods around it — and the trade is still part of the town’s identity. It sits in a steep valley on the corridor into the capital.
The town is in a narrow valley and the sides are steep, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. The station and the centre are easy to reach.
On older chairs and tables, check the joints and any repairs rather than the finish. This town made furniture for a century and genuinely good pieces circulate, but so do bad repairs.
High Wycombe, in England, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in High Wycombe

Working out what yours is worth
- Count the grains on the face and note the willow type

Getting it ready
- Identify the willow grade and whether it is English or Kashmir willow — the price difference is large.
- Check the face for cracks, the edges for splits and the toe for swelling or damage.
Photograph
- The full face of the bat, straight on
- The back, showing the spine and any sticker with grade
Put in the description
- English or Kashmir willow, and the grade
- Weight in pounds and ounces, and the size (Harrow, SH, LH)
Long and awkward to post, so expect a length surcharge. Wrap the toe and edges well — that is where transit damage lands.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
