Looks like its out of China (look at the shipping page). I would definitely beware, though it could be legit.

More likely a knockoff instead of a scam to steal your money.

Most likely its a production over run of the older model or the factory in China has started selling them direct.
Surprise, most all roof top tents are made in China.

Guy on Expedition Portal recently reported a similar situation, super low price, too good to be true for a Tepui RTT on Ebay. Seller faked a signed receipt slip, got jerked around for a bit, before Ebay refunded him.
Could also be a knock off/copy hence the low price.

These are manufactured in Korea, not China. I have met and dealt with the owner directly. He would never be able to sell these to anyone at that price. If they are shipping from China, they are most likely a knock off.

For me Chase and most CC companies would protect you if their fraud team finds it to be a true scam, you might have to get a new card after reporting it.

One hell of a shipment.
If it was a reasonable shipping fee, I'd consider it over a discounted Yakima soft tent or something similar.

I mean costco sells some now.
https://www.costco.com/Silverwing-Cl...100468990.html
Paired with their return policy, if I were in the market for one, I'd seriously consider buying it from Costco.
