I've got an Outdoor Research Advanced Bivy for sale:

Practically new - less than 4 nights in it and no signs of wear. Bought new last year, and didn't use it as much as I wanted to.

Outdoor Research's most featured, high-performance bivy.

Vented foot box, Goretex (no condensation problems!), removable bug net, 2 pole design (freestanding and keeps the fabric away from your face), super durable floor, relatively light (2 lb bivy).

See the rest here: https://www.outdoorresearch.com/es/en/advanced-bivy/p/2428290202222

MSRP: $325

Asking $190 + shipping

Includes: stuff sack, bivy, poles, 5 pole sleeves (one extra)

I really appreciate your interest, but $100 is too low for me. Unless, of course, you're offering to pay me $100 for the shipping to Idaho :P

I was surprised they were discontinued too! Truly one of the best bivies out there, especially for the weight.

Bought an OR Advanced Bivy last year, 2nd hand, for $150 for the West Highland Way on Scotland. Great place of equipment. $100 seems really lowball and insulting.

Would you say the same thing if you had bothered looking up what new ones are going for?

Backcountry is selling them with free shipping for $136. Couple that with a discount for first order, and you’re looking at around $120 for brand new. The op is asking for $190 plus shipping for used. My offer is insulting?

I thought it would be insulting to post how much cheaper this discontinued item could be bought free. Do you still feel like a knight in shining armor, Benjamin?

Backcountry is selling the Alpine Bivy for $136. They do not appear to have the Advanced Bivy in stock.

No, they aren't. Different model, called the "alpine bivy", not the "advanced bivy". Perhaps you should reexamine your source?

I don't think Benjamin meant anything offensive with his post. I thought your offer was respectful proffered, albeit low. There's no harm for someone to make an offer, even if it gets rejected (as long as you're polite!). Frankly, I don't really care if Benjamin found your offer insulting; it's not his ad. 

But I agree with him, it's definitely an amazing piece of gear.

Would you consider $150? I can pick up in Portland.

I’ll buy your bivy. Pm’d.
