1.  Is it legitimate for that price?   :P
2.  Shame it isn't the two man version.

considering there is a 2nd hand one on ebay with bidding at £155 this seems like a bargain, you know i'm just trying to convince myself  :)

(new ones on ebay at £190)

I've just bought 3

Judging by the number of "3 available" listings on ebay - id say a lot of people are thinking the same thing I am

Well close enough

Ill flog two for 220 each and keep the third

Is this a yearly deal kinda thing?  When the new season laser comps come in, F&T get them and sell them at a discounted price?

Its just their daily loss leader
They have something different every day

Its usually shitty karrimor stuff - but they once sold an amazing merrell coat for 100 quid off RRP

Torn between buying the one man, or waiting out for a two man.

How does it compare with the G20 Superlite that a few of you recommended in the previous thread, better/worse?

So so wish i could justify buying this; its a fabulous piece of gear at an unbelievable price...and there was me thinking I'd got a real deal on Field and Trek a couple of months back buying the Zephyros 1 for 72 quid...only used it once since getting it

Sigh....

Hey Pudd, to compare to the Superlite is kinda difficult; they are two different styles of tent, for different numbers of occupants.  The Superlite is a really robust piece of kit that will swallow up 2 people and their gear easily and you could use it in the snow at a push.  The Laser Comp is an unbelievably light one man (two man if you are very friendly  ;)) that will service you most of the year round but isn't gonna be great if its snowing.

That said its a brilliant tent (cannot stress how brilliant) and at this price it'd be sinful not to buy it...either that or your skint like me  ;D

Oh crumbs, I've just went and done it.

I think I will blame Typo-on's comment "you'd be crazy not too" and that was me. 

I'm in so much trouble now ;D  May be handy that my birthday is next month though 8)

By the way it is £132 to the door, there's free delivery also.

I think its a shame there are people prepared to pay so much money for a crappy tent.

Someone mentioned about buying 3 and selling 2 on ebay, I use ebay and I watch certain things, I see it happen all the time, someone buys from the states, a few weeks later its on at three time the price. Never sells and end up selling cheaper.

I just dont know, £130 whatever it is, for a few square metres of material, madness.

The price of any material is completely justifiable if your getting use out of it. If you think otherwise you are the mad one.

Your partner must never have got a diamond then? Can you imagine paying hundreds of pounds for a stone?

I'm not sure that is a good comparison. Anyway, I have never met a woman that would accept a diamond ring at a few hundered pounds, if indeed it is possible to get a ring at that price.

BTW, I am just annoyed that I missed the deal  :'(
