Have you got your tent yet? what do you think to it? am thinking of maybe putting a bid on one thats on ebay at the minute - what do you think? seller says it's 10 yrs old but been kept well, also any idea as to what would be a fair price - it's started at £50.

Thanks x

Congratulations on the tent Jo you are far braver than me - it would be not the tent that would need to go into hiding if I bought another !!  Not heard of that Cabanon before will have to take a nosey on Ebay at the other one.

Kirsty - it depends what model it is my Athena is 9yrs old & in immaculate condition I paid £165 for it and consider it a bargain but they have gone for less & more in varying condition.  If you get any Cabanon for £50 then its a bargain providing its not a wreck - the utility tents are going for more than that!

I have discussed this one will Keely as I thought about bidding and keeping the one I have as a spare canvas.

We decided, if its in good nick no more the £150 at a push

My Athena is almost 9 years old and is immaculate. I paid £99 for mine (and its newer that Fiona`s ) But My top bid on it was £160 so I was very lucky

Sadly, due to ongoing car sagas I have to sort a courier to fetch my new purchase.....making it less of a bargain

really like that tent - how old are they I haven't seen a Cabanon like that before.

No idea.......its not easy to find any info on it either.

It was a post bottle of wine bid!!!!

But if its in good nick I`ll be delighted with it...it`ll be the perfect short stay replacement for the Orchy

Cheeky!!  1 year younger but a lot cheaper - Im not sure I would've thrown in that £165 had the seller not added a zip out panel to the description which the tent didn't actually have - but I'm glad I did because of the A1 condition.  I wonder if anyone else will manage to get such a bargain as £99 - probably too many of us looking now.

I resurrected this thread as the tent FINALLY arrived today and we have it pitched in the garden.....and its fantastic!!

So nice, we are going away in it next weekend....chance to test out the fat airics too

I bough new inners for it and its terrific......OH, having recently become a cabanon convert himself.....loves it too.

sounds great Jo, any photos?

Where has the tent been all this time??

There`s a De Waard on ebay!!!

It was at my friend in Portsmouth for a while, then he delivered it to my parents, and they brought it down this weekend!!

I have photos but an too stupid to post on here and Keely usually does it for me, but she`s off camping!!
