exact same thing happend to me last week,tent ad said perfect condition only used twice,drove from manchester to wales to collect,when we got there the tent smelt of mould so i opened the bag and it was full of damp and mould,seller said they were sorry and a genuine mistake,but i would check anything before putting up for sale,they even apologised via email later which was nice,but had i not gone to collect i may of ended up in the same situation.only worth getting tents if you can check there condition first.saying that i did buy the same type of tent but a new one off ebay a couple of days later at a good discount,and we are very pleased with it,so if you cannot travel to check second hand tents,wait and one will come up later that you can,also beware of a second hand gelert utah 4x4 in wales...it might smell.

Hi Pete,
Just looked at parcel2go, quoting £60 for 2 day delivery, not as cheap as I thought, thanks though
Ignore the DHL/UPS options on parcel2go - look at the HDNL one instead (Home Delivery Network) £14.99+ vat for a 25kg parcel, 120cm x 50cm x 50cm. It's a 3 days service, but I used it to send an Intex pool a year ago - massive heavy package - and the guy received it in less than 48 hours.
Pete
I was gonna say that that price seems a tad expensive, I sent a Hi-Gear Zenobia, porch and carpet for £15 with parcel2go on next day delivery. Is the tent really heavy??
To the op, please push this through the small claims court, with all the evidence you have they won't have a leg to stand on with regards to it and also as they haven't responded that suggests to me guilt, good luck

Thanks to all those who have posted a response. I will pursue the matter and see where that leads.
I have photos from when I pitched it and they are date tagged which is helpful.
Have to say that this is my first really bad ebay experience but then I have never bought anything as expensive and have always used Paypal. Feeblcat - as you say what goes around...
Cheers
