So sorry to hear this. I suppose when you sell it will depend on how keen you are to get rid of it! You'll probably get a better price for it next spring when people are searching for a tent for the new season.

If you can wait, then I would hang on to it until next Spring - a few weeks before the school Easter holidays is often a good time to sell!

i think we are entering a buyers market at this time of year people that have "tried" and not liked, or upgrading downgrading will be putting tents and equipment on e-bay and the like in the next couple of weeks.
If you could wait till spring you might get a better price for your tent

Just my thoughts

As a buyer, I'm on thelookout for end-of-season bargains at this time of year. Therefore as a seller, I would wait til early spring to avoid cheapskates like me.

Got any trailers going?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Definately spring time as others have said. Might be worth lumping in any other camping equipment you don't require and sell the lot on ebay as a complete kit.
