Ebay bargain     270470466268     Think I'll get a couple at this bargain price

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Blimey! A penny short of a thousand quid for a hammock and a tarp??? I'd want a freehold on the patch of woodland thrown in for that money.

And what if you prefer not to camp under trees?

It's enough to bring out the sceptic in me

I would really hope that it was plainly obvious to everyone that this was not the correct price!!

Yes - he has sold 24 already - but at £59.99, not a grand!!

I contacted the seller about it and he said:

"Unfortunately we're currently out of stock of this item however rather than close it we have left it open and increased the price to prevent people from purchasing it just until 2 weeks when we hope to have them back in and we'll reset the correct price.

Kind Regards

- ronniesunshines"

Funny way of doing business, and personally I don't think anything should be advertised on ebay if it's not actually in stock and ready to go, but there you are.

Cheers,

Andy

Bought a skillet off him once.  It was very reasonably priced, though!

I bought a Dutch Oven off Ronnie Sunshines - great it is....and we use it all the time, home and away.

Thought people were joking that they really believed the price was £999.99! Can't help chuckling to myself now I know they really thought that was the price! Sorry folks :)

Sorry! Tell you what....if you really want a bargain I've got a canvas tent that you can have for a £799.99. It's a German army flecktarn one, proper poles too...... :)

Pfffttt - don't listen to that petemillis chap rooks - when for the absolute knockdown price of £400 I will supply you with 10 metres (yep, that's more than 30 feet of heavyweight proofed nylon, in a rather fetching British Racing Brown. I'll wrap it in sumptuous brown paper too, absolutely FREE!

 I assumed it was a typo error, and that it was probably £99.99 but still to expensive for what it was.  I wouldn't pay £59.99 for it either.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
