For alot of people myself included a 400 dollar tipi vs 8- 1000 dollar tipi is the price of a tag. 5-6-700 dollar difference. Ill support USA Companies as much as possible but when your running tight on your money sometimes buying the China product to go hunting instead of taking a year off cause you cant afford the tag is the way to go.
Absolutely nothing wrong with staying within your budget...it's the ONLY smart thing to do. I joined this thread, however, to point out that for several similar tents the savings is not 50% or more. The Octaplex is similar (actually slightly less real estate) to the Cimarron. And it is only 20% cheaper. And you get the sod skirt with the Cimarron at no extra cost. And you get a lifetime warranty. And it's made in the USA. And buying used it costs the same or less than a new Octaplex. So just wanted to set the record straight that the Chinese made stuff is probably making a larger profit for the middle man compared to the innovative folks at Seek Outside who design, develop, build, repair, and improve their own products right here in the USA.
Having said that, there can be some great deals on used Luxe tents here. And for anyone to take advantage of that due to a budget, there is nothing wrong with that. But is it really the best fiscal move in the long term?
