Anybody get a Eureka Spitfire from Sportsmans Guide?
I just received what was supposed to be a Eureka Spitfire solo tent from Sportsmans Guide and instead got a Eureka Solitare, which is pretty much a bivy, and definitely not 40" tall! I'd ordered it from their website for $69.97 (looked like a sweet deal). I just called and talked to their customer service, and they claim they never had it for that price (its listed for $89.97 now). I have the email confirmation they sent when I placed the order and it reads "Eureka!

I looked at their add found thru a Yahoo shopping search. It says Eureka spifire, but shows the orange solitaire and priced at $69.95.
When you click on the add, the spifire comes up.
I'd say you either keep what you got or send it back for credit.
You never will find the spitfire at $69.95 until it becomes discontinued.
I have made friends with online venders who used to sell Eureka stuff and dropped the eureka/camp trails line entirely. The one bad thing about Johnson Outdoors, they tell their vendors the minimum price to charge for Eureka products and they will stop selling to any vendor who tries to discount.
I have owned the Gossamer - pretty much the same as the solitaire and it was a nice little tent.
