I'm at work and can post pics later but it's below zero out and a foot and a half of snow on the ground so it'll just be a pic of it in the stuff sack.
I have a brand new only set up in the yard and living room Fly Creek Ul2. I bought it at the end of last year's camping season for this year, and have since decided to go with a side entry double rainbow. It will come with a custom cut tyvek footprint.
265$ shipped conus. PayPal only please. Again, it's brand new never used.

I have this tent and it is absolutely awesome! It's great for one person and your stuff, you and your dog (and your stuff), you and a small child (and your stuff). It is 2.5 pounds, complete and packed, easy to set up/take down, sturdy... I highly recommend it and this price being asked is unbeatable ($390 new). Bump!

Thanks slbirdnerd! It was a tough choice between that or the sl2. I figure between that and a double rainbow I should be covered. I wanted at least one free standing tent. Plus I just got a smokin' deal on another piece of gear :) if spring doesn't come soon I'm gonna be broke

Am I asking too much? I thought it was a good price.

so this would not comfortably fit two adults, correct?

I'd have to say comfort is a relative term, but two of me....no way. I was going to use it as a one person

Am I asking too much? I thought it was a good price.
After Christmas, many of the online retailers were selling these (fly creek and copper spur) for 25% to 35% off... and then if you waited until the right moment, you could sometimes get a coupon for an additional 10% to 20% off. Even at those prices, it took a while before all the retailers cleared there stock (and there are some places that the least desirable sizes are still at those kinds of prices).

So for starters, you've got to realize that anyone that recently wanted this tent could easily get it from a reputable retailer where they would have a full factory warranty and return privileges in the range of $235 on the low end, about $275 on average, and $295 on the high end.

I was able to wait until just the right moment and purchased a new Copper Spur UL2 WITH BA Footprint for $275 (shipping included) from www.campsaver.com in January.

I don't think you are asking too much given what they are new, but, if it isn't selling... However, another caveat could be timing. Thru hikers are already on trail or have their gear nailed down. Plus it hasn't exactly been backpacking weather yet for many people--but it will warm up eventually... You could either give it time and re-post later, or lower the price if you are in a hurry and willing to let it go.

Both good points. If it doesn't sell maybe I'll try later. I can't lower it much more without completely losing my butt.

One and only price bump to 250$ shipped. If it doesn't sell by tomorrow morning it's staying with me.

Sale withdrawn. Will try to sell locally or hang onto it.

You might see if your local outfitter has a used gear consignment event. Mine here does once a year. I wasn't ready to sell anything but I hear it was pretty successful.

Yeah there's a consignment shop, but I'll probably just keep it for now at this point.
