Hello, probably old questions but are there still Skytents for sale out there?
Are they worth the price?
Anybody got one for sale?

Good Luck! I tried for two years to find one used. I think only one came up on AM in that time - If I remember correctly guy wanted 2+ grand - which was more then I wanted to pay for a "tent" from an out of business company.

Also looked for the Tradewinds Dome (Dark Site Dome) and couldn't find one. Ended up with the Kendrick Observatory Tent - and have been fairly happy with it. I have it set up permanently for 7 months - with gear inside. Overall it works quite well. Everything has been kept dry even with winds up to 60mph. The only problem was during a snow/ice storm about a month ago - one of the fiberglass poles snapped and the tent partially "laid down”, but even collapsed it kept everything dry. The new Alum poles are supposed to reduce this happening even further.

There's a Kendrick for sale on this site right now. Posted under "observatories" in classifieds.

The seller wants $350.
