Once an item is sold, found or thread is no longer needed we move it here. These maybe helpful for historic reasons.

Macpac olympus tent

Postby rocketrm2 » Sun 21 Dec, 2014 11:13 am

I am seeking reasonable offers for my Macpac Olympus tent. Has been used 1O times, in all, therefore in excellent condition. Made in New Zealand, comes with guys, pegs (including several snow pegs, full set of poles). The catch it is a 1985 model. Macpac listen to customers and act to improve their products, and have done so with the Olympus, but this tent is still the classic tent, sturdy and reliable. Standing the test of time.
Why selling? my Ski touring and snow camping days are long gone. It would be nice to know that it is getting use by a new owner.

Hi there

Just for mine and most likely others benefit, do you know what the difference is from this model to the current model (Materials for tent/poles, weights, entrances, design changes etc etc).

Info might help with the sale.....

Do you have any idea what sort of money you are chasing for it?

Thanks and good luck with the sale.

Thanks Mick,
as for the suggested details I don't have any info. As for comparison with the latest model, there are several differences one being dual entrances. in other words the newer models have back door. As for a price I would accept around $200, plus postage. It is an excellent tent with an outstanding reputation. Once its pitched , and the blizzard roars, you can cook in the the vestibule, eat then into your sleeping bag sleep soundly, knowing that your tent will be standing when you wake.
