There is a starting bid of £300 though - Still its a nice tent and very good value for money considering the new price is £1,269.00

Hmm thanks for pointing that out was thinking of the Biscaya 500 unfortunately from the pics it looks a little too low head height for me.  Wanting 210cm but from the pic looks pretty cramped for a 6ft 7" monster like me.  ANyone else got one of these that knows the internal head heights?

Elleo do you know the measurements of your 500 inside?  At the moment its this or a Bear Lake 6.

Thanks

Justin

The tent isn't pitched correctly in the Ebay photo. The porch poles seem at too steep an angle thus lowering the porch height.

Photo below shows how it should be pitched. I'm not sure the exact height but I am 5' 4" and can't reach the roof channel to zip the poles in - I have to stand on a caravan step

Thanks Elleo

I thought it looked slightly saggy in their pics.  I spoke to dealer yesterday who said its 220cm inside.  However from all the messages on the ebay auction looks like it might be a popular item.

I just bought that very tent. I never knew it needed pitching to increase the roof height at the front. Should I be concerned? The seller is a really great guy!
