Worth keeping an eye on here and FB Marketplace. If you're not in a rush, there are some bargains floating about.
I was in a similar situation a few years back and ended up with a second hand 5ish year old Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT that I got for under £500 off Marketplace. ended up with a Hilleberg Anaris too. Also got a 16' Old Town open canoe in very good condition for a bargain price last year.
Seen a couple of Fjallraven tents on there recently. If you're really lucky the drive to pick it up will be on the way to a nice weekend trip in the Lakes or something similar.
Whenever I am looking for something like that I'm willing to travel a bit to pick up (within reason) and I never transfer money until I've seen the item in person. Old fashioned cash is quite handy in this regard.
Most of all you need patience. Currently on the lookout for an Aiguille Alpine rucksack, one will appear at some point, but I'm not in desperate need so....
Good luck
