Cheap 12'x18' Green Tarp on Ebay

[Midnitehound]

Whilst hunting around Ebay for a cheap tarp I found this 12'x18' Dark Green Tarp made by Am-Tech. It has grommets every metre or so. The blue version is £11.15 delivered but the green is showing at £5.49 delivered! The Green was showing at £11.15 too in another of the seller's listings! Even Tesco online is charging £8+£3 P&P.

I have just taken delivery and it seems like a good lightweight tarp at a very reasonable price. It isn't thick enough for long term protection of something but fine for camping/hammocking under.

Thats a good price.

For winter one of these would be good for a shelter, green one side, silver the other to reflect heat

Hmm, I'm not convinced that is a very heat reflecting Silver for the price.

The picture further down on this page looks a little more convincing.

The silver tarp will certainly reflect more heat than a green tarp and no faffing about rigging foil blankets.

Hmmm that raises and interesting point. I know if a shop mis-prices and item they are obliged to sell it at that price. Just wondering if the same can be said for an item on eBay? Anyway, I bought one and hope they follow through on the order.

No, they aren't. Not in the UK at least.

Biker, a price is not a contractual obligation, its not actually an 'offer' but an 'invitation to treat' if I remember my 'A' level law from forty years ago correctly, read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharma..._Britain_v_Boots_Cash_Chemists_(Southern)_Ltd pretty much stands today from a legal point of view but a big company may well swallow the loss because of reputation etc.

Make that 26 sales. I just measured the area I need to make sure is rain free and found I need something a little bigger ... like two of 'em. So I just bought another one to link together at the ridge. Let's hope the honour the purchases. Hmmmm we could all leave some nasty negative feedback if they refuse... assuming if they cancel the transaction one is able to leave feedback.

Yeah, I see what you're saying about prices, it's just that last month I was in a UK shop and saw a DVD priced up £2 cheaper than all the exact same others on the shelf. took it to the till and paid the labeled price. The teller said they were obliged to, I didn't argue the toss.
