I don't mean this question in a mean way or anything, but I'm just wondering why it seems this tent is available from many other on-line retailers in the $350 range? Because of where we live, I pretty much have to buy on-line but there is such a price variance and I'm generally willing to pay a little more to buy from a reputable company (like backcountry.com), but $499 vs. $349 (http://www.mytrailgear.com/tcs38.html , for example) is quite a difference. So basically, what am I gaining buy spending an extra $150 to purchase from you (It's a serious question as we've pretty much decided to purchase this tent but just aren't sure where to get it from).

are you sure you're not comparing a 2 person Spur to a 3 person Spur here? Sounds like it....

sometimes you will spend more money because we put this gear through the ringer and it is nice to have a guarantee.

Well, first and foremost, you probably know that if you buy this tent through Backcountry, you'll get a 100% guarantee...we guarantee complete satisfaction and an unlimited lifetime warranty. If at any time -- now, next month, in 30 years -- you're not 100% satisfied, send your gear back for a full refund. No questions asked. $350 is a good price for this tent though... sometimes other sites have sales when we don't. Not to shoot down other smaller companies, but I've had experiences where I've ordered from mom and pop shops and it took me two weeks to realize that it wasn't coming because it was back-ordered. We currently have 8 of these in stock, and chances are high that this tent will ship out today if you order it today. Hope this helps!
