Try http://www.campmor.com

Campmor is clearing out their tents.  I just ordered a TNF Nebula for $300 (regular $365) and should get it today (I hope).  They have just about all of their tents on clearance right now.  Don't know if their web page has the clearance price, I ordered over the phone using my latest catalog.

Unfortunately a few days after I ordered my tent I got a catalog from Sierra retailers (? can't remember the name for sure but I can grab the catalog if it's needed) and they are selling the Nebula for $274.  #!%#!  Oh well, the campmor price is still good.

Also try REI at http://www.rei.com or their outlet at http://www.rei-outlet.com/index.html

Good Luck,
Mel
