[NSW Wollongong] WANTED: Hilleburg Nallo 2

[melinda]

Anyone interested in selling a 2 man Nallo that they no longer use???
Must be in great condition.
PM me with reasonable price please.
Cheers Melinda

[tasadam]

Good luck getting a second hand one of these...

I got mine from here...

Great choice!

[melinda]

Heh tasadam,
You've got to try!

I keep a lazy eye on ebay for Hilleberg gear. Nallo2 do occasionally come up on ebay, though they seem to be the most popular Hilleberg. Normally save $100 odd over the Moontrail price (adjusted up for postage then down for bonuses....)

[melinda]

Good thinking Nuts,
I still have an Ebay alert out for Western Mountaineering sleeping bags and it is surprising how often they come up!

Bushwalking Hiking does seem to attract the 'fickle'

[melinda]

I was looking a Moontrail.
Thinking went something like:
Ok, so if I get the Nallo then I just have to find something for another 75 points to get the Neoair for free.
It could go on for ever!!!!!
Guess I'm a bit of a gear freak at heart!

[Nuts]

Does help to use the full grand for the best value. You can buy points with them...
It sometimes gets lost in the age of the bargain but I can remember 20yrs ago not getting much change from that for a top locally available tent...

Hi Melinda,

If you are a BPL member there is one for sale here:

[tasadam]

You can use the points for a discount. I did.

[melinda]

Empacitator, thanks for the link.
Had a look, wonder why the tent needed all the zips and guys replaced. They don't mention age.
tasadam, that's a good idea. Do you remember what it cost including postage?

[tasadam]

No. I think the points work out at about a dollar per point.
The current price inc postage to me is US$622, which according to http://www.xe.com is $693
But it will be cheaper than that when you cash your points, on freight I think.
Can't remember how but I know it can be done.

Just searched my emails, found the tent used to be $525 and the points were 40, and I cashed the points with "bonus points for cash - -$1 discount per point redeemed.

Oh man, my email is full of it...
An email from Moontrail -

Thank you for the email. You can redeem the bonus points for cash. They are valued at $1 per bonus point.
Simply add the item to your shopping cart. Create a user account login (you will see the authenication box along left side of the page). Once you have created your user account you can view your shopping cart item. Under the item you will see a bonus point link. Now that you've created an account you can view the bonus items offered and see the redeem bonus points for cash option. Now you can redeem the bonus points for cash.
If you have any problems let me know. We look forward to doing business with you.

That being the case, assuming $55 US discount for the tent, the AU$ price, landed, with the cheapest freight option, is
$550 (tent) + $72 (freight) -55 (points) = US$567 = AUD$633

Hope that helps.

[Nuts]

I dont think they have that option any more Adam? They were at the top of the points gear list.

[tasadam]

According to the email I got, you have to log in to get that. Will have to check...

[tasadam]

Yep, still get the discount...
Just logged in and gave it a go...

Bought my Nallo 2 from moontrail

I bet you got it cheap with the dollar the way it is now?

[melinda]

Hi all,
Thought I'd let you know how I ended up buying this tent.
If you look at the Hilleburg website under special offers (Home page/Products/Special Offers)the Nallos come up quite frequently.
I ended up getting one for 20% off because it had been used as a display model. (Bit of dirt on it.)
There is one there with 40% off because it was torn. (But now repaired.)
The Nallo still hasn't arrived, will let you know what it is like when it arrives.
Melinda

[juju]

Did you get a green one or a red one? Just saw a red on special for 330!

[melinda]

Hi juju,
Got a red one.
Wow, $330 is a good price.
Where did you find that?
Does it include postage to Oz?
Melinda

[Nuts]

Just curious Adam, I thought the bonus points 4 cash were listed? Where did you find em?

[juju]

That was on the Hilleberg site under Specials like you said, unless I read it wrong...hang on I'll just check,,,,,it's gone now, maybe it was yours - it was a red one. Damnit - could've saved a couple of hundred, I picked mine up last week, see viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5059
but I had to have green, didn't I? Where is yours to be Christened? Julie

[melinda]

Hi juju,
I reckon it will be christened in my backyard as soon as it arrives.
But we brought it for an Arthurs trip in Feb/March.
You???

[juju]

I bought it for walking in Tassie and have my sights set on The Western Arthurs as I only got to Square Lake the first time. But I will take mine to Werrikimbe next month (have bought the mesh inner also).

Your screen capture shows you the item in your cart, and your unused points. But as you are not logged in to the Moontrail site, it does not list them.
They are listed once you log in. See this post then this post.

[Nuts]

Yes, thanks...Ive read... that is interesting... I believe they come up as the first item on the bonus list...interesting!

[melinda]

Hi all,
The Nallo arrived yesterday.
This is one nice tent!
Put it up in the backyard. So easy.
I think I said we got 20% off it because it had been used as a display model.
What can I say, it looks perfect to me.
Can't wait to test it out on a real mountain.
Melinda
