Here we all are mocking these inferior tents (myself included). Now i'm sitting watching the news and realise these poor people in Haiti would be so grateful of a shelter like the affore mentioned crappy tents, Valbarley's right, we are all tent snobs.

I had an Isetta BMW when I was younger. I also wish I still had it now. Not just because of the value, (I sold it for fifty pounds  in 1966) but because it would make a perfect town car, and would fit in my back yard, which is only twelve feet long. Parking is a real problem where I live, and I often walk or just don't make local trips, as I can't get parked when I get back.

With regard to the tent, If it is rubbish, then it is thirty or what ever pounds down the drain, which for someone short of funds, is not acceptable.

I had a Royal Avignon which was remarkably similar to this. The Avignon did however have a couple of side poles that stiffened it up enormously. The Avignon is slightly raked at the rear (can't see on this ebay tent) but was otherwise as aerodynamic as a brick, just like this this. The poles look about the same. The guy points don't look so bad, but I'd change the string to something I could see! The front door zip looks exposed - no storm flap. Except for the colour, I'd give it a go. It would probably serve up a great silhouette show!

Not a lot different to these

I just wonder who recommended his recommended retail price

The spelling and grammar used is somewhat suspect also and if you consider that they have nothing else to sell and are untraceable on Google (at least to me) I would cast a tiny amount of doubt about their claim to be a "high quality retailer".

Of course I could be wrong.
