Jacuzzi, Sundance, Caldera, Hotspot, Limelight Made In Mexico. Does Anyone Care?

[bingo296]

Just curious if anyone cares these days where the things they purchase are being made? Does it matter if a spa is made in Mexico or China?

This is copied verbatim from a thread that was started in the other forum a week ago by someone named "Markee" who obviously is involved with Marquis. It may be that same person creating a new username or someone else copying it over. Obviously they want people to be alarmed that the Caldera/Limelight/Hotspot and the Jacuzzi/Sundance plants are assembling spas a couple miles across the US border. From a salesmanship standpoint I guess I can understand them throwing it out there hoping it sticks but it didn't gain traction over there so I imagine they're trying to resuscitate it here. The China part thrown in at the end of the thread is just a red herring.

when you can't sell based on your own features you begin to desperately grasp for straws and this is a perfect example.  Funny thing is most educated adults look past this so its a huge waste of time anyway...whenever someone comes in and they heard some "mud slinging" at another dealer I simply ask them "how did that situation make them feel" and 9 times out of 10 the find it awkward and childish

  Is Markee the guy I am thinking of and he use to be here?

On the other forum I saw "spa savant" and "Here in Colorado"  and then thought, well you know what I thought.

So per that address its corporate Marquis, I had assumed it was a dealer.

so someone from the corporate office is trolling a forum...things must be going so well over there that they have time to troll a forum  .....must be nice to be up on that high horse since they are "made assembled in america"

Hmm.  I responded to this thread with a link to that very thread, but my response seems to have deleted.  What happened?

Wow, looks like Marquis Spas took a pounding in the first round; don't start round 2 yet, I'm waiting for my popcorn to finish!

Hope your not wrong on this Chas.  If in fact that is Marquis then they should be ashamed of themselves.  Apparently spa sales are slow for them but that is no excuse.  I do think people would rather purchase products made in the USA with the conomy the way it is
