I'd be interested in buying one and shipping it to the UK, if those guys would be willing to sell?

I can get one for you in the US. Let me know how much you want to spend and I can check if thats out of range or not.

I can´t speak for them of course, but don´t bother to ask them. I also asked the same question to them a few times, but they want to habg on to them. Logical of course, both red tents are mint.

Yup. They both came from the some lot I saw at the Vlaardingen cab trader when I had "just" started with the hobby. He had about 6 of them. They were stored up high on a rack but I didn't know about their value then and I wasn't looking for table games at all.

The seller told me they came from the Stena Line, a ferry between Holland and the UK. They had bought them BITD but they apparently failed to meet either British or Dutch electrical standards and thus were not allowed to be used on the ships. Following this they were stored for years and years and because of this they are near minty. I love these kind of stories :)

I wonder where the others ended up....

The others went to Morocco, at least that's what the seller told me..

Don't think that one was from the lot I mention though...it looks to be quite used a bit more ?

There seems to be quite a few available in the states, and this might be an option.

But shipping it to Germany or similar is no use to me, because I'd probably struggle to get it from there to the UK and shipping would be double

If I can get it shipped directly from the US to the UK then that's a good option

$350-$500 seems to be the going rate in the states, depending on games.  I'd be willing to pay that
