Marquee pavilion, for sale
« on: 2013-01-09, 18:37:09 »

I saw this on one of the mailing lists I'm on. Someone is selling their tent:

Quote
Hey, Dear Gentles and Other Types (whichever you prefer)!

We're thinking about getting a bigger tent, so I'm wondering if anyone is interested in buying our "old" tent.  We've only used it one time (last year at Pennsic), so it's pretty new.

It is a 12X18 rectangular Marquee with:
10.38 oz. Sunforger Flame Retardant Canvas
Slant walls AND sod cloth
6-foot poles
Block Design with terra cotta colored dags.

We're asking $1200.00, and you don't have to pay S&H.

Cheers,

If he buys it, he'll probably have to live in it for a while.  Or the couch.  lol

Wait, what?? Imagine if we used that logic for weapons and armor! :D

Shipping and handling is not to be underestimated on the medium sized tents. Mine was close to $200; saving that, on top of saving off MSRP, is a win-win.

I love this quote from the movie Contact:  "Why build one when you can have two at twice the price?"  :)

Heh :)  If I were to get a second tent, it would be to have a smaller, more portable one. I don't see any need to go up in size or have two of the same design in this case. I think mine is a 12x15, so this one that is being sold is just like mine except it's 3 feet longer.

I'm pretty sure someone did a long time ago. ;)
