it was a classic case of a badly listed item, plus the seller had -1 feedback, so it was a bit of a gamble, but one that definitely paid off! i would never have been able to afford a tent of this quality otherwise. without a doubt my ebay buy of all-time.
SWMBO is still stomping round muttering '£60 - it's only a tent, what about the gas bill?... yada, yada, yada......'

Its always the same what do you need that for.

Good buy though amazing

Well done. Hope you like yellow and grey

Nice work

Similarly, I managed to get a pair of brand new Meindl boots for under £20 because the seller misspelt Meindl and thus ebayers searching for Meindl weren't directed to his item. I was the only one who bid.

Shows there still are bargains to be had on ebay, just as long as the seller is a bit dim

There is a special search engine you can apply to ebay that looks for misspelled items. Can't think what its called though. I used to look for misspelled items and end up with some right bargains. One man's mistake is another man's gain.
