This is the tent in which Douglas Adams had the inspiration for 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. He used it to hitchhike around Europe in 1971 during his gap year, and while lying it it - a bit drunk - in Interlaken with his head sticking out of the door and gazing up at the stars, he had his Great Idea. The tent is a Vango Force Ten, bought from him shortly after his return to England. It is in the same condition it was then, a bit faded and with one (mended) rip in the groundsheet

 No, imagine when you buy it and then go on the Antiques Roadshow 50 years from now...

You: Well, I bought this off of Ebay, for $2000, and it's supposedly the tent Douglas Adams lay in when he thought up the idea for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Expert: *mutters* 'Supposedly' is correct. I mean, *loudly* do you have any idea how much this is worth?
You: No, no idea at all. *excited look*
Expert: You paid $2000 dollars for this, and it's /actually/ worth...
You: *eagerly* Yes?
Expert: ...it's worth....
You: Yes...?
Expert: ....it's worth....
You: Yes?!??
Expert: $42.

 I remember reading about someone trying to sell their half eaten sandwhich on eBay, and they claimed that John travolta had taken a bite out of it or something :blink: . This other guy tried to sell an empty jam jar, because there was a "ghost" in it.
Hooray for Santa!
