Hi Everyone

I know the rules about cheapo camping stuff, BUT, I put a bid on the item below of £10 and won, with P&P at £8-95 making a total of £18-95 Have I been robbed or got a little bargain?????.  Its a 3 berth tent, 2 adult sleeping bags, and 2x eva foam mats.

The buy-it-now price is starting at £39-99.

Regards

 Steve.

Don't worry about what anyone else thinks...............Are you happy with your purchase for the price you paid ?.

Under £20 for the lot? You were done

Seriously, on a sunny day, put the tent up and get some seam-sealant: Do all the seams, take your time and don't miss any.

Then when the sealant is dry, takes about 10 to 15 mins when the weather is warm, you want to reproof the tent. It will say that it's already done but it will cost you very little to do it again. Fabsil is probably the right one to use.

I would also suggest getting your self some of the nice yellow plastic tent pegs because the ones that will have come with the tent will be nasty little cheapy skewers and no use to man nor beast

I would suggest maybe buying yourself a couple of the blow-up mattresses. They are very affordable now. I see that Argos are charging about £15 for a single. So add a little footpump and you're all set.

Bargain I reckon and used sensibly I know that you will have a lot of fun with it

Don't worry, the tent's probably fine. It's crazy some of the things that you can pick up on Fleabay. I picked up a very decent Staville socket set for £99 because it had been entered in with the boats - normally retails at around £300+

Deep Joy!
