I was having a mooch on Ebay this morning and ended up looking at tents, as you do  , I came across a frame tent listed locally to me on a buy it now for £15, now that doesn't happen very often, you get very few listed cheaply near me and I got a bit excited.
The trouble was the only picture was of a 'similar' tent with the description being that the one for sale was 4 berth, orange & grey with flowery curtains.
Hmm, what to do?
I emailed the seller to ask for any more details, but i'm too impatient, so I made a quick phone call to OH to ask his opinion, go for it, he says, you know you want to.....so I did 
Am I mad....probably, i'll find out tonight when I collect it

, the middle stub canopy pocket is worn and needs reinforcing and about an inch of stitching is coming loose on the front corner. We haven't had chance to check all the poles yet, hopefully none are missing!
