Hi Sharky,
I've bought two De Waards from Marktplaats. The first, I had couriered back, the second I collected myself.
Firstly De Waard. Excellent tents, well made and if looked after will last a long time. The Albatross is a great family tent - but it is quite heavy and takes a lot of room in the car.
The key I think is the condition of the tent. The one thing that will kill them is mould. You really need to see the tent before you buy which makes buying from Markplaats hard, or else you are buying on trust. Ask if they will send a photo of the canvas as is ie not a holiday photo taken 5 years ago.
The last tent I bought was from a family who, like me, love De Waard. They had the original receipt, all the original bags and were happy to send me a photo of the canvas, showing it was in good condition. All signs that the tent has been well looked after.
If you are going to courier, then you want them to pack into 3 seperate bags to try to keep the cost down, but you are still probably looking at £150 to get it here.
Or have a trip to Holland, it's a lovely country.
Finally, worth looking at www.dewaardforum.nl if you are really interested as there are lots of people on there who have done the same.
TT
