Any one have experience with any gear mssg by this seller on Ebay...?
Looks like some really nice stuff, at VERY REASONABLE prices....for example right now he is listing 6 x 9 cube tarp, seams taped, just about 3 ounces....for $149 shipped....
Am i crazy or is that like a FANTASTIC deal....

It is absolutely a fantastic deal assuming the quality is up to par with the other big names. That is a big assumption without further information though. If I wanted a 6x9 in cuben today I would play it safe and get it from zpacks for $190.
Here is a cuben tarp: $165

It should be clarified that a diamond asym tarp with an 11ft ridgeline is pretty much worthless as a ground shelter. Good price for a hanger seeking absolute minimum coverage though.

9x6 is pretty small for a tarp, I hope a bivy is in your plans. Otherwise, I would be wary of buying cuben products from unknown vendors just as a rule of thumb. Not saying his products are good or bad,
