When we were getting our new Vermont L a couple of weeks ago at Winfields we spoke to one of the sales staff who said that most of their display tents are out from March up to end September or later. That, he said, was the same as 6 plus years hard work for the tents due to a number of factors including being out in all weathers from snow to high wind to rain to sun, the number of people going through them causing wear on the SIG, the fact the doors were open in all weathers, the fact that they are often not guyed out fully due to space constraints, guys are often tripped over causing stress on the tents fabric.
The discount for me to buy ex display would have to be so much that the retailer would be just about giving it away, even then I would never trust it fully unless I knew its history (ie having only been on display for a very limited time)
Cheers
