I posted a while ago about this - we are emigrating and it is breaking my heart to leave our beautiful tent and accessories, but it's not really sensible to ship it over there or to store it until we get back. :(

Do you think it would be best to just put everything separately on Ebay or campsite.co.uk, or might people want the whole kit together? What about pretty lams and stuff?

So sad. :(

PavlovtheCat · 02/04/2012 18:47

Well I personally am gutted Wink but yey! You can take it!

sneaks in cheekily

I have a 4m bell tent for sale. Used once. Perfect condition. It's a Sahara 400 from obelink. Separate groundsheet.

We bought it, decided we needed the 5 m for 5 of us, and got one straight away!

No bunting, pretties, fairy lights, cookers or shepherds crooky things free with this one though. Wink

chimchar · 02/04/2012 18:53

Oops. Didn't mean to bold my cheeky 'cheeky' statement!

ifeelloved · 02/04/2012 20:03

How much is the 4m and where abouts are you based?Grin

RakingUpThePast · 02/04/2012 20:19

ditto to I feel loved

chimchar · 02/04/2012 20:47

Hi again.

We want what we paid for it....£240 plus postage.

Am in wales, Cardiff to be more precise.

You're very welcome to come and see it. Can email pics over if you dm me.

No pressure though!!!

LoopyLoopsIsTentativelyBack · 02/04/2012 21:10

Brilliant. :)

Sorry to hijack loopy... I hoped you wouldn't mind because you have your happy end! Grin

LoopyLoopsIsTentativelyBack · 02/04/2012 21:48

Not at all, I hope you get rid of it! They are the most brilliant brilliant things ever and it will make a family very happy. Esepcially as all the Obelink hassle has been taken care of. A year ago or so I would have snaped that up - you can't order from Obelink any more unless it gets sent to Europe then sent on, so a lot of people are put off by that.

Dh said no Sad

To be fair we do have a 5m Grin

chimchar · 02/04/2012 22:48

No worries. Thanks for letting me know.

Love our 5 m. Reallllly love it!!

ifeelloved · 02/04/2012 22:50

I would always recommend the 5m. Could you keep the 4m for when the children are older?

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 02/04/2012 23:01

Loopy - I didn't know you were off to Malaysia? How did I miss that?? Where abouts are you going to? I spent some time in KL & Langkawi - loved it!! There's nothing like exploring the unknown on a moped amongst the chaos of KL or the island life on L - I am Envy

LoopyLoopsIsTentativelyBack · 02/04/2012 23:07

I am! It was a bit secret and still is a bit in RL but I'm too excited to stay quiet! Tell me all about it please Chippy. We're off to KL.

Hi OP, I think you are mad taking it to Malaysia tbh. It will become a white elephant. I can't imagine ever wanting to camp out over there (used to live in KL) in the heat, it's about 35degrees at 7am! There are some pretty horrendous critters out there, not to mention the mosquitoes, some of which carry dengue fever. Don't mean to piss on your bonfire but I think it's a bad idea.

Couldn't you loan it out for a few years? £40 per year or something.

LoopyLoopsIsTentativelyBack · 02/04/2012 23:12

oh :(

Oh no :(

Ummm, might it be useful just in case? Erm, in case we eventually get a garden?

OP posts:
pictish · 02/04/2012 23:17

Put it all into storage Loopy.

LaGrenouille · 02/04/2012 23:19

Sorry Loopy. The only place you may get to use it is up in the Genting Highlands, but even then still the deadly critters. Perhaps you could put it up indoors and pretend!

On the plus side, you are about to have the time of your life. Have you lived in SEA before? It is fabulous, and I am very Envy

LoopyLoopsIsTentativelyBack · 02/04/2012 23:20

But I want it near me.

Sod that, I want to use it. People do camp over there. There are camps sites and everything. Plus, I am a little bit mad.

pictish · 02/04/2012 23:20

"But I want it near me."

I understand.

LoopyLoopsIsTentativelyBack · 02/04/2012 23:20

No, never lived out of Europe. Very very excited, and a bit flummoxed by all the practicalities. Tell me all you can please!
