First of all Sweeneysteve congratulations on your incredible purchase and luck.

I have bought two tents off ebay and been very lucky with both of them my first was a Pro Action (argos) Nevada 8 which had never been used and still had the little quality control tags wrapped up in it when i took it out of the bag.

The second was a Vango Diablo 900 xp this one i was even luckier with, The seller said he didnt have the inner tent as when he pitched it for the first time there was a fault with it he contacted Vango and they replaced not only the inner but the whole tent and only asked him to return the faulty inner.

So there was i with a Diablo flysheet and poles but no inner and anyone familiar with this tent will know thats not a lot of use so i contacted Vango and asked if they had an inner i could buy, they said they had a return that had a slight flaw in the groundsheet that they would sell me.

ok i know you are thinking well how much ????

The Nevada 8 cost me £55 brand new

The Diablo flysheet cost me £50 pitched once

The Diablo inner cost £50 im still looking for the flaw in the groundsheet

so all in all ebay came up trumps and im still browsing just in case i spot any more bargains.
