WTT These silly, scaled down tents for....something fly fishing related?

[Bugmeister]

OK I have some tents - scaled down versions but in concept identical to their much bigger brothers - and am wondering if anyone would be interested in a trade of some kind. Kind of unique - there are likely not many of these around as they were created by the manufacturer as one-offs - and fun for kids to play with (or if you have small pets they might love them?).

One is a Big Agnes Big House (with all poles, no tears, includes rainfly). The other is an REI Kingdom 6 (two bedroom tent) with all poles, no tears, includes rainfly. I put a bottle of rye next to one to give you sense for dimensions (Note: Templeton 6 yo Rye not included......).

In years past my daughter loved to play with them with her American Girl dolls and stuffed animals, but she has outgrown that phase. My cat used to love them as well, though my daughter didn’t let the cat stay in them.

Seeking local exchange only, and perhaps trade for some flies, or a used 3wt., or ?

Too cool

I always figured these were for kids to lay with for their dolls or stuffed animals.

I'm thinking maybe salesman display samples

Dog tents

They would work as dog tents for smaller dogs...pretty tight fit for a bigger dog though. My cat used to love to go in, but my daughter usually had a doll-tea-party-camping thing going on inside so the cat didn’t get the opportunity to get too comfy before being shooed out.

And yes - these are samples built by the manufacturers as store fixtures/product samples.

I should add that while all the tent pole sections are intact, they didn’t come with scaled-down tent stakes

Too bad @Evan B already found one, this had a lot of fun potential.

Could they be dehydrated tents that become full sized when wet, that would be perfect for western Washington

Kind of reminds me of a silly scaled up (Jumbo Size for store display) Jan Sport pack I picked up for for what ever insane reason I had then. It was cool then.

I have that Big House 4 in those same kinda odd McDonalds/Florida State Seminoles colors.

How much would you sell one for? I think my kids would have a blast playing with these

Hmmm...if local pickup I guess $20 per tent ? I thought I might end up finding some manner of trade but no luck thus far from anyone local - and I am loathe to ship anything so haven’t accepted any of those offers

West Bellevue (kinda near Medina)

To the top with the tiny tents

I have a silly scaled down fishing pole and reel I might be willing to trade. Might have to find a scaled down bobber to cast a fly with it though.

 

[Bugmeister]

Tempting and kind of on brand with the tents, but no thank you. Some years ago my daughter prob would have dug that but she has aged out

Ok bringing this to the top in hopes of a random trade. Maybe some flies, or ? Barring that, I would do local pick up for $15 a tent.
