I'm in Seoul. Where can I buy a decent yet cheap tent. I would like to keep it close to 50,000. Possibly willing to spend more on a really good deal. Ill buy used if you got one you don't want anymore.

I got mine (big, cheap, car-camping thing) on G-Market (http://global.gmarket.co.kr/)-- you can sign up on their English page, but you'll have to search for tents in Korean-- then you can order in English (sort of, some info is in Korean)-- and pay with Korean credit card or a bank transfer. My tent arrived from Seoul to Jeonju in less than 24 hours.

In the past I've also bought tents for myself and others at Dongdaemun Market. . . heading W along the river N side, leeo for the climbing shops. . . there are more in the interior behind the ones facing the river.

Costco had some decent Coleman tents for 70,000won (that was the 6 man version) as well as some smaller coleman tents. Worth checking out.

Thanks for the advice. I picked up a sweet little rig near Dongdaemun for 35,000.
