Saw these tents a while ago - the 6 berth is a complete Monty 6 ripoff - even same dimensions

Its the old Ebay trick - a hugely inflated RRP so people think they've got a bargain.

skandika milano 

my latest 'ebay special' cost £50 so i got exactly what i payed for but it did stand up to a tough weekend in scotland so no complaints. I now need something a little more resiliant to the harsh weather and also something with a bit more room and the tent on ebay looks tempting unless someone would like to point me in a different direction?

We had a Skandika & the friends we sold it to are still using it, completely waterproof & very easy to put up.

Unlike all the others they make this one has a sewn in ground sheet.

If you are on a budget & you like it then go for it.

Ours arrived in 2 days from Germany & a lot less postage than some UK tents.

If you get it "cheap" & dont like it, flog it on, only sold ours because we got 2 Hartfords, the Skandika was a lot quicker to put up though.
