I hope we all get some luck like this from time to time.

What would have the retailer done if you did take it back. You wanted to pay the price, not pay extra for the 2007 model (or have to meet somewhere in the middle). So if you take it back and the shop gives you a 2006 model, what are they then going to do with the 2007 model you have just used (you weren't to know until you put it up). The retailer would have to sell it as 2nd hand, or demo stock, and at price close to what you've paid for it. So any honest retailer would probably have said "Our mistake, your good fortune".

I had to double check where you lived, I was kind of hoping you had got it from camptentman

Munglie,

Don't apologise for the narrow minded attitudes of the few. It's better we see their true colors, so we can dismiss them in the future.

Munglie,

Good for you!!!!!

Honesty is always the best policy.

Enjoy you holiday this year in your new tent.

You need a comma after the 'being'

It could read Talking as a human

Not being a retailer

Well what I say is this good for you Mungie and a great tent it is although I say it my self being the proud owner of the 2006 model we love our Alaska 8 not seen the new one so dont know what changes they have made stood upto some foul weather and was still standing and no leaks only one tip we found that was good was to have a look at the pitching instructions on the khyam website for the indiana 8 as very very similar tent helped us on our first pitch.  We have just bought the outwell side canopy for ours just not had the weather to try it yet but will let you know how it goes.

Surely if a company makes you an offer and you accept that offer then it is all above board.

Did the receipt say that it was last year's model?
