[MR] Tents for sale

[Towey, Brian]

Good Sir Daemon,

Please pardon my asking, but how is your tent top different from a 30x30
white poly tarp that retails for $90? (At
http://www.masterdist.net/tarps/white.html for example.)

The heavy-duty white tarps are UV treated, with rope-reinforced hems and
aluminum grommets every 18".  At 3 mil, they are half again as thick as the
common blue poly tarps. 

Why the big price difference, especially for a used tent?  Do your tent tops
have gabled ends or something?
