You do realise you're asking more than the price you can get the hubba hubba hp from the states? A lot more.

Good luck with that ollster, with exchange rates (that you as a consumer actually pay) and postage, as well as the long wait, i think i'm competitive. And that is IF you can find a seller who will ship here! I'm still $165 to $300 cheaper than other sellers in australia. Plus US ones are "look at me" yellow

Does that include warrenty?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Pretty sure Azza paid around 400-500 for his.

If you find any fault in 31 days return it and I'll give a full refund (inc. postage) or replacement.

Thats nice, good for Azza.
If you can get one for that price I suggest you do so. I paid more than that for a bulk order (each), which was the cheapest I could find them anywhere. So that is an exceptionally good price.

For arguments sake, RRP in USD is $450, which is currently AUD$456. So you reckon international transaction fees (if applicable) and freight will add up to more than $143?

FYI - I bought my Hubba HP from Moontrail, and it took a whole 5 business days and cost $413 inc P&H and a some other goodies (tent repair kit, thermarest cushion and platypus bladder - value of around AUD$70-80RRP). Sorry to rain on your parade, but $600 is just crazy.

Oh, hang on, it's in green. I understand MSR charge an extra $150 for green... sorry, my bad.

Yes exchange rates have improved since I bought these, but still. Lets say $450 USD. That equates to around $470AUD including the actual exchange rate you will pay (not the figure quoted in the news). Add $50 or so postage and you are up to $520. 5 days is very quick postage and from my experience more the exception than the norm. And sorry I don't have a 'bonus point's system like Moontrail!
Oh by the way - Moontrail will not ship MSR to Australia any more. Nor will any other American retailer I have found so you may need to look to Europe for your comparisons.
Is it not okay for me to try and make a small profit? I am not claiming to sell at cost price or below as you would wish for. And to get one from Europe you are looking at well over $600, from Australia (where I am) it's more like $800.
But okay what the hell seem I feel generous - free postage Australia wide to forum members with 10 posts or more, except the southern confederate for being bad sports.
Actually Ollster why don't you show us all an example of a store who:
- Have a Hubba Hubba HP in stock.
- Will ship to Australia.
- Priced under $600 AUD delivered.
And if you find one do they:
- Ship in 1 to 2 days?
- Offer 30 day refund inc. postage?
- Green in colour?
Good luck!

[ollster]

They were certainly being shipped end of last year. I haven't had to buy a new tent since then, so I have no idea if Moontrail etc are still shipping.

- Have a Hubba Hubba HP in stock.

Fair point. That particular model seems to be a bit thin on the ground... end of life/season product maybe? MSR are probably retooling to make exclusively yellow ones, so I'd better get in quick to buy one in green.

Hmmm, is it fair to compare the cost of a Hubba HP (1 person tent) with a Hubba Hubba HP (2 person tent)? or to compare the previous cost of a Hubba Hubba HP (when they were available in the US, they don't seem to be now) with the current cost?

Excellent tent IMHO. Very happy with mine.

[flyfisher]

Good to hear someone happy with them, I haven't used mine yet.

So were you guys talking about the same size tent or was one a Hubba HP. Easy mistake,good to know.

Sorry boys all sold out. Guess they weren't so over priced after all!
