I have previously sold tents fairly quickly and for a good price but earlier this year I tried to sell one which had been used for 4 nights only and it struggled. I finally put it on Gumtree at a giveaway price and somebody travelled all the way down from up north to buy it. I guess people just aren't buying second hand tents this year unless they are practically given away.
Your asking way too much for a 2nd hand polyester tent.
If you asked just under the crucial £200 price point, I'd expect it to sell...
Over that, your going to be left with it... Just like you currently are.
It's not how much You want for it ( if you Really want to sell )
But how much a Buyer is willing to pay unfort.

Sorry to say it Millerblade but, I agree with hankakampa 100%.I wouldn't pay anything like £400 for a used synthetic tent, no matter that it has the accessories.
Like Mucker says, it might be worth also stating how many nights the 'used 6 times' equates to (esp important with synthetic tents, IMHO).
I'd pitch it (pardon the pun!) at just under the £200 mark for the package, if you really want to sell. Or keep it and maybe use it some day if you feel that's too much of a loss.
