    If shipping is in the $5 range or under, then, yes, it's going to be a pretty good deal. If shipping comes out to about $10, then it's about average. If shipping is above $10, I'd just buy locally. Note that this is against my local milsurplus store's prices, though, so YMMV. They run $20 to $30, depending on condition, here in Gainesville.

    Good point - I had to go through check out to find out what shipping and tax was. ( 12.89 + 2.34) so I guess I will pass on this.

    Yeah, unfortunately TANSTAAFL applies here, as in most things. There are deals out there, but they usually require quite a bit of searching. Hope things go well for you in yours!

    At my local surplus store, we talked him down from $17 to $10. Some might say we under cut the fella, but we do extensive business with him.
    It's a hammock thing, you won't understand!

    The wife no longer kicks me out of bed after she saw a hammock hanging in the dog house.

    Keep an eye on ebay. Last I looked they were going for around $20 shipped. A couple weeks ago I picked up 4 for $60 shipped.

    FWIW...these are new PLs. Most of the listings being quoted are for used PLs. While the shipping is initially high, it goes up very little with additional items.

    I saw a few more things on the UncleSam site that I needed and it only added $1 more to shipping so I ordered all the items I needed. The surplus store here in town is pretty pricey $30 for a new PL so that's not a good option for me.

    My local store is selling new ones for around $30. I got one on ebay this weekend for $20 shipped that was in practically new condition.
