The obvious answer being on ebay. They do seem to be some online sellers of new older season tests at good prices. Just a case of trying to decide which one suits you best.

cheers Andy but i was more thinking of outdoor shops with old stock.
i dont like buying second hand stuff unless i know the previous owner .
i have two great tents akto and mountain hardware spear gt2  but my ideal tent woluld be hilleberg nallo 2 gt.
basically a good size tent thats light and a snip to pitch,
mind you i'm only dreaming i cant afford to buy a  box of matches at the moment  ::)
but no harm finding out were all these old stock are hiding theres bound to be shops with loads of tents they never  sold.

There are a lot of new "old stock" turning up on ebay. I think a lot of the high street stores either sell off their old stock in bulk which then ends up on ebay or have their own ebay sales.

It is worth a look anyway.
