I've not bought anything in this current round of auctions but I have in the past bought a fast and light, and a dpm4 without any issues with quality or delivery. I've also bought a fast and light wrap, a dpm4 wrap and a tempest skull cap direct from them as non auction items. Again without any issues.

My only issue with the auctions these days is that because they have become so popular the outrageous bargains don't seem to be there anymore. I think I paid £80 for my F&L. Absolutely no chance of that anymore.

I was bidding for a mate on one of these before Xmas and we lost every time and we were bidding up to £400. Can never see what they go for but they were not going cheap. Was monitoring one tonight and put a few cheeky bids up to £250 but didn't see where the bidding ended sadly (I didn't win)

If you've made a bid. You can look at any bids you've made in your account and it will show you what you bid and what the auction finished at.

I purchased a typhoon MH last year, paid 370 on auction, then bought the utility front, Skull cap, I did have to wait for the skull cap for a couple of months for it to come as out of stock, over the moon with it. Well happy with my purchase, Love the zip in ground sheet.

Search completed listing on eBay and you can see what they sold for.

There is 2 sold on there when I just done a search, one in November for £300 and the other in December for £350.

I have been monitoring and bidding on Cyprinus MH bivvies for the last month or so as I'm also after a 150cm+ high bivvy.
They always seem to go for roughly the same price as they offer on the negotiation feature for that day £400+.

I think the key is what is it you are happy to pay on the Cyprinus auctions?

I got a K2 early on using the deal bot, a fast n light and a sleep system in the auction by not mucking about any just putting in a price I was happy to pay with reduction.

Some of the bivvies and other products do go for some what I would call high prices for an auction but that says to me they are worth it.

Deal bot or whatever it is called is well worth a go and good fun also. BTW, it knows if you come back and try again for a deal😉😁😁

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
