I have just got back from Go Outdoors in Stockport and they had 3 Montana 6 tents that had been returned due to minor faults and were on sale at a 'knock down price'. I spoke to one of the assistants and he said that apart from the faults they were in excellent condition. I took pictures of the tags so I could post the info on here. What follows is exactly what was written on the tags:

Tent 1:
As new pitched once; Front right window has been stitched all the way round instead of vented - £199 with discount card.

Tent 2:
Small rip in groundsheet - tent as in new condition - £220 with discount card.

Tent 3:
Pitched once; poles used previously rip on front pole sleeve - easily repairable - £149 with discount card.

I was tempted by the £149 tent (just because I resist a bargain), but luckily I had my mother with me and she dragged me away before I bought a tent I would probably never use! The guy said the rip was small and was on top of the pole sleeve as opposed to it being on the seam – he reckoned it would be about £30 at the most to repair – not sure where he pulled that one from.

Anyway, I left them behind at about 3:30pm – if you don’t live within travelling distance of Stockport, but are interested then their phone number is 0845 112 0136

May as well add the address whilst I’m at it:

GO Outdoors Stockport
Stockport Road,
Cheadle Heath,
Stockport,
SK3 0TQ.

Seems strange they are selling faulty Montana 6 as i believe the retailers normally send faulty tents back to Outwell who then give them credit for the cost of the tent.

You would have thought so Outed, but the guy who I was talking to said it was the first time they had done this as they usually just bin them

Those were his exact words...we usually bin them - I nearly fell over. I didn't think at the time to ask him why they didn't return them, but I think it says a lot about their mark up if it's not worth their while.

I will have to ask them about this next time I’m in there – it is an interesting point.
