FS: Hilleberg ALLAK tent. Excellent condition, green, three weeks use only (In good weather). A snow capable, two person, two vestibule, completely self-supporting tent. Reason for sale-airline loses bags, I replace tent, later the airline locates bags. As lovely and capable as this tent is I don't need two, and have decided to sell the new one. I will have pictures available if you require them, just ask.

PRICE: £460 including UK postage.

I can source this tent currently new at £420 through a retail source.

Can you do an offer? A price that encourages me will make a difference. The airlines just lost my luggage too! but the thieves took mostly titanium camping gear, unfortunately they left my other tent

Who is selling this tent for £420?
25/11/2011 at 03:24
a connection due to my situation, not shareable I am afraid.

if that was the case then why dont you take them up on it if its brand new???rather than haggling this sale down....trying it on imo....

Amazing how many times of late tents being sold due to airlines losing luggage and then original tent turning up again......

Yeah might be the way to sell a stolen object in a stealth manner. If the price is too good you might wonder if all is legal. Always ask for buying receipts or insurance papers for proof if you 're a honest buyer.

Oh yeah also a reasonable pointer for problems. People who only accept cash and no paypal or whatever transactions (seller is then traceable)

Good luck with the sale diesel.

The Moral Maze:

If tents could be pirated & downloaded on the internet - would you do so?

Yes I would because downloading is still legal in my country, it's the uploading (making a product a piece of software replicable and available without the rights) is illegal. But buying non-replicable stolen goods (mostly being the ownership of an end-user and not the manufacturer) of the internet there i do draw a line.

But for the sake of the argument. Now with the coming of 3D-printers you might print your own tent. the software design for the printfile is proprierty. This software-file can be made replicable (hacked) and publicly distributed on the net. If it is still legal to download I would download it, if i want it.

You're still in the moral maze though.  Being legal is not enough in itself to make something moral.  So, if you take a musician's work off the internet (by which I mean music for which (s)he owns the copyright and has not granted you permission to take a copy of) then, irresepctive of the laws, you have taken something of theirs for which payment is usually part of how they make their living.  It's arguably the case that by doing this you are taking someone's ability to earn their living from their work away from them, and by extension that such an action is immoral.

So even if downloading was legal here I personally wouldn't be doing it.  If I enjoy an artist's work enough to want to have a copy then I feel obliged to buy it out of repect for the person giving me art I appreciate.  Getting back to the outdoors, should you use B&M stores to try things on and then order over the internet from another place at a lower price?  I think it's a pretty dodgy thing to make a habit of, but it's perfectly legal.

Pete.
