Factory Direct: What does it mean?

That's fine and dandy, except that they explicitly say in their ads that you can save thousands of dollars by eliminating the middle man. I don't recall them ever saying they were factory direct until recently. Maybe they are actually building the spas in their barn/showroom. Then, it would be perfectly ethical to claim factory direct status. Otherwise, I will have the opinion they are being deceitful unless someone can show me otherwise.

That's Factory Re-Direct.

And the plot thickens.....
A man has been in my store the last hour shooting the squat. Here is a basic rundown of what he said:
1. I'm Doo Lolly and I'm in the oil and gas business
2. I've heard HotSpring is the best
3. Another dealer, who I won't name, tried to sell me a $9000 spa for $14000
4. I own a bunch of Class III (full-auto) guns including an M-3 Colt (no such thing)
5. I can show you how to make your weapons full-auto (illegal act that I told him I wasn't interested in)
6. Oh, I'll go ahead and tell you who tried to rip me off (the Factory Direct dealer)
7. Well, I live in College Station (4 hour drive from here, so I tell him to go see his local dealer)
8. I gave the other guy several hundred dollars for a deposit, but I'll just let him keep it (OkeeDokee)
9. I make a lot of money...these spas look nice....the other guy has this same spa (HS Envoy) for about $9000....I may go back and get it...I could've slept with this 23 year old hotel worker last night and I'm 42....blah...blah....blah
I finally told him good luck, hoped he found the right spa, he'd regret it if he cheated on his girlfriend, and bye.
Now, this is the first time I have EVER had someone even mention this other company before, and it came on the day after I posted about their advertising practices. I smell a conspiracy and I don't know if it's my competitor or the ATF trying to set me up.
What do ya'll make of it or is my paranoia acting up?
