Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo backpacking tent w/ carbon fiber pole & Tyvek floor

Description

You are bidding on one Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo light weight backpacking tent as pictured.
I bought this used in June 2015, and I don't think the previous owner used it more than a couple of times. After I bought this, I then bought a cuben fiber Six Moon tent, and I never used this tent. That means that one, it has seen very little use, and two, it is not the current model although I don't believe that they have changed very much other than the floor color as it is such a great design. The current Six Moon Designs website will give you a lot of general information about the tent.
Included are:
--- the tent itself. The tent color is green, and the floor color is black. To be clear the tent material is not cuben fiber. The current Six Moon website describes the material as polyester. The tent weighs 23.7 ounces on my postal scale, which is a bit lighter than the current advertised weight of 26 ounces. That weight is for just the tent without the stuff sack or pole or stakes. The tent has NOT been seam sealed.
--- the matching stuff sack for the tent.
--- the carbon fiber pole, which has the zip cord down the inside. Overall length assembled is 48-7/8", collapsed length is about 17-3/8", and it weighs 1.8 ounces on my postal scale. It is marked "CUSTOM CARBON 6.3" and "MADE IN USA EASTON ADVANCED CARBON". This is the proper and original pole for the tent. I never borrowed it for my tent, as I used a trekking pole.
--- 5 of the original Six Moon tent stakes, plus one added Easton stake. These appear to be aluminum.
--- the Tyvek footprint, which is in the original plastic bag from Six Moon Designs, and is marked "FOOTPRINT - SMALL" with a size of 36" by 84". It weighs 5.3 ounces on my postal scale.
--- the never opened package of seam sealer which is SIL-NET by McNett. Understand that this is roughly as old as the tent, and I don't see any mention of shelf life on the package. I would be tempted to buy a new tube as the cost is only .50 at REI. There is a little brush in the package.
--- and the original little instruction sheet from Six Moon Designs. The little box for seam sealing is not checked.
Set-up: the pole fits into a little pocket at the top that is not obvious, but is nicely reinforced. There are two loops, one in the middle of each sloping side, that you could add some cord to and pull out the sloping sides a bit more. I set the tent up loosely for the pictures, and it would be even tauter with some minor adjusting of the stakes. The website also suggests letting the material relax for at least a half hour and then re-adjusting the tent as well. I didn't include the floor in the set-up pictures.
Condition for the tent is excellent and lightly used. The tent has been stored in the stuff sack since I bought it so it looks wrinkled. There are no holes or tears in the tent. The Tyvek footprint has also been stored folded up since I got it. There is one replaced tent stake as noted, the tent pole is in excellent condition, and I would suggest buying a new tube of seam sealer.
SHIPPING: 3 or 4 pounds when boxed, insurance and signature confirmation are included.
No International shipping.
In addition to what is written below, I also enjoy hiking and backpacking. I've got a lot of gear that I'm not using, and this seems like a good time to find a new home for it. So as I say below, please keep watching my listings.
I sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography!
The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them. So please keep watching my postings as I have LOTS more to list!
Searching my listings: I have lots to see! Some of you will undoubtedly enjoy browsing through everything, but if you want to hone in on something specific, I suggest you click on the "Visit Store" link in Seller Information section in the upper right of this listing. That will lead you to my extensive system of categories.
You might ask: How can I know when you start new listings? The answer: please click the "Sign Up For Newsletter" link that is just above and to the left of this description, and you will get an email every Friday with my new listings, as well as an email whenever I put any of my Buy It Now items on sale.
ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and auctions with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you bid, and especially before you receive it in the mail. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. What goes around, comes around.
RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn't need a return policy. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake. Please bid with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. And if you have made an error, and bought the wrong size, for example, I will still take care of you (but I’ll let you pay the return shipping!).
SALES TAX: Interstate sales tax is rapidly becoming a reality in more and more states. If I ship to a state where eBay is required to collect sales tax, eBay will charge you the sales tax for that state.
There is lots of information available from eBay that explains it in much more detail. The sales tax is completely out of my hands -- I don't have anything to do with deciding whether to charge tax, I don't have anything to do with deciding the tax rate, and I never see any of the funds that are collected, they go directly to eBay.
SELLING OUTSIDE OF EBAY: Why would I risk my lengthy good standing with eBay to save you a couple of dollars? Especially when you ask on an email that is sent through the eBay email system? Please don't ask, the answer is no.
SHIPPING IN THE US: I would rather that you spend your money on my stuff, and not on shipping.
I package well, and have a great track record
of getting everything to each buyer, and getting it there in one piece.
I try to pick the best shipping option for each listing, based on what is the least expensive, and based on what I think is needed to protect the item. I use the US Post Office for everything. If the value is 0 or over, eBay requires your signature at the USPS delivery for the buyer and seller protections to be in effect.
USPS POSTAGE RATE INCREASE AS OF January. Every year the US Postal Service raises rates in mid to late January, and this year is no exception.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I no longer ship Internationally.
AUCTIONS: I won’t end an auction listing early to sell it to you directly. As a bidder, I really dislike going back at the end of an auction to bid, only to discover that the seller had ended the auction early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you.
PACKAGING: Please check my feedback -- I package well. I figure if you take the time to purchase from me, then I can take the time to package it well, and not just throw it into a cereal box with a scrap of newspaper.
I hope someday I will meet some of you as we trudge the happy road of tool collecting!
