Just found the Gelert Store on ebay who offer refurbished tents that are....
*These items are trade show samples,Ex Displays or slightly shop soiled (now reconditioned). No refunds, but if not as described we will send out replacement parts within 7 days of receiving your tent.
Any one had any experience?

i wouldn't, tents are so cheap and stores are always on sale its not worth the risk for the minor savings in my opinion. Nothing will ruin a weekend quicker than a tent failure.
as above, more tent sales than you can shake a stick at just now
blacks/millets, go outdoors etc etc etc,
Tents wear out in sunlight. If it is a display model after a few months it will have the equivelent of years worth of use.
Terra Nova do manufactured seconds which are bargins and they are due their annual sale soon.
I got a Terra Nova Laser for less than half prive from TN as a grade C second/return. It still had the tag on! Ended up selling it for what I paid after using it a few times but wanted something more stable. Now have a Voyager Ultralite.
Gelert aren't the best brand of outdoor kit. Whenever I try and cut corners on my kit (I climb, mountaineer, paddle etc) I alsways have to buy the "right" thing anyway.
I'd rather buy a second hand reputable tent. Check out UKclimbing.com classifieds for some good kit.
Gelert aren't the best brand of outdoor kit.
Everything I've ever bought with a 'Gelert' badge on it has leaked. That's not a feature I want in a tent.
(That said, I own a Hi-Gear tent which is great, and appears to be Gelert in all but name; maybe it's just the brand rather than the manufacturer).
