Re: Looking for advice on a tent
Incredulous? Your unwillingness to see that not everyone wants to buy things the "tp way" is a prime example of incredulity. Even though it's been mentioned in other threads, median spelled it out quite nicely here - not everyone wants to spend an inordinate amount of time waiting for a $400 piece of gear to be discontinued and go on sale for $1.95. (Yes - serious hyperbole there). I'll say it again with a bit more detail - I have a folder with forty plus links to sites that sell camping gear and/or stuff that isn't targeted to camping but can be used for camping. I include eBay in that group, although I'm not sure why. In the last ten or so years, there has not been one item I've purchased that wasn't cheaper on another site or even locally. That's tents, lanterns, sleeping bags, clothing, stoves, cookware, camping chairs, tables, hammocks, fire starters, tarps, sleeping pads, water jugs, axes and saws.
So I guess you can put me on the incredulous list as well. My eBay hasn't shown me any quality gear for anything close to 60% off. But I guess I'm just looking for the wrong stuff...
