I'm going to send a link to a picture of my altimeter and bivy as soon as I get my camera to dry out. It is waterproof camera, but I had it out in the snow/slush yesterday and it has some moisture in it. I've had this happen before, I just need to be patient and it will dry out.

To answer other questions: As far as usage goes, not a lot. I've only used the bivy once, so it looks like new. I don't remember exactly what I paid for it, but I know I got it on sale. Unfortunately, BPL doesn't sell it anymore, so I can't find too much about it. I'll try and get some pictures of it when my camera dries out.

The tent has a little more usage (three trips). There is a minor blemish on some of the netting. Basically, the threads are squished together where they should be evenly spaced. This means a bit more spacing on the other side, but not enough (in my opinion) to let in a mosquito. The blemish was caused by my being stupid, and squishing a mosquito using the netting.

I'll post an update as soon as I get the pictures up there. A couple people asked about the altimeter, so I'll go with the first PM I got (Dave) unless he doesn't want it. Thanks for your patience.

OK, I have some pictures on the web: http://tinyurl.com/2frdxr3
Let me know if you want any more information (including new pictures, the one of the altimeter is a bit washed out).

Here is how we stand right now:

Altimeter - SOLD to Dave
Bivy - Brian, Willy, Jim
Tent - Willy, Yuichi

These are the people who responded, in order. Still waiting on Brian (for the bivy) and Willy (for the tent). Second in line for each are ready to buy now (not to put too much pressure on the folks at the front of the line :) ).

Think I'll hold off on the bivy - so it's Willy's if he still wants it. Thanks though!

Everything is sold. The altimeter and bivy were sent yesterday (USPS priority mail). I'm working out the tent transaction with Yuichi. He is overseas, so we'll wait until he gets back to do the exchange. Thanks everyone for your patience. This was an interesting experience. I've never sold anything through BPL before, so I learned a few things. Sorry it took so long to update the status.
