Having begun my shopping extravaganza that seems to commence every August/September I am amazed at how much more layout blinds cost in brick and mortar stores than online on Ebay.  Don't get me wrong, running to the local store with your vehicle can be nice to touch and feel the product as well as get an in person feel for how they work, but if you can save 20-40% off the price by going online, why wouldn't you?  And that is just with the name brand products.  Let's take a couple of examples of what I am talking about:

Avery Layout Blinds

The Avery Finisher Layout Blind is a very popular layout blind on the market today.  It is one of the best selling models for a reason, this is a great, lightweight layout blind.  In the stores it will set you back $280.  Don't get me wrong, a great blind, but that is a pretty steep price.  Not to mention if you have state tax on top of that!  Here is one on Amazon for a lot less (click on the picture to see the specifics):

Final Approach Layout Blinds

Or how about the Final Approach Layout Blinds.  The X-lander is a great blind and has the great reputation of Final Approach behind it.  New in the store you are looking at $250 plus any local taxes.  Here is one on Amazon that is far less expensive(again, click on the picture to get the item specifics):

Homemade Layout Blinds

And as I mentioned that doesn't even include the great deals for "homemade layout blinds".  There are guys that make their own and sell them on the internet.  Not the big brand name for sure, but a quality layout blind.  Heck a lot of these guys even include warranties and all of the features you will see on the expensive name brand blinds, but at a fraction of the price.  These are layout blinds that are delivered to your door for cheap.  Here is a great example by Pacific(you know the drill, click on the picture to see the specifics on the laydown blind):

So why go to a big box store and buy your layout blind?  I'm not sure, you can save a lot of money and have the item delivered directly to your door for far less expensive.   Hey, I'm like the next guy and need to touch and feel an item before purchase, but the way I have found to do that best and still save the money is to go to your local sporting goods store that has layout blinds, check out all the models and choose the one that you prefer.  From there just note what it is.  When you get home go to Ebay and buy the model for a great discount.  And I'm not even talking about the used models which are also available there.  After a couple of uses your layout blind doesn't have that shiny look and it is just as used as any model that you will find from a seller.  If you are willing to forgo the fresh new smell of a new blind you can save a ton of money that way also.
