If any forum members want it they're welcome to it for £50 - but you've got to come take it away, can't hang onto it!

Good to see it sell so quick ... should have tried for more!

Now wondering about the frame tent I've got in the loft.  Didn't think it would fetch much so haven't bothered trying to sell it.

It's the right time of year to sell it.

Yes I was surprised it went so quickly.  You can pick them up in auction for about that (perhaps a little more), so the price was fair enough, if a little low - well, we wanted it gone!

I think the chap picking it up didn't appreciate how heavy the metalwork is, and how huge and heavy the rolled up canvas is.  It was definitely his first frame tent so we spent a bit of time in the garden part assembling it.
