In today's economic climate saving money is important and if you are in the market for a tanning bed then it is tempting to buy a used tanning bed rather than a new one and save some hard earned money. But this may not be such a wise decision in the long run.
Run a comparative search online and check the quotes for used tanning beds to get the picture.
You may be surprised to learn that there is not such a big price drop for these items as compared to brand new products. Some used tanning beds could even cost around $5,000 on eBay for instance.
One other issue to take into consideration is that some used tanning beds belong to older collections with ultraviolet lamps that are no longer considered safe but the advertising descriptions may not mention it. Just like there could be other hidden flaws that are not disclosed by the seller.
Experts advise potential buyers of used tanning beds to look for sellers who have legitimate reasons to dispose of the items. Home users are the first ones to check with. Have a look at the classifieds and chances are that you will find good used tanning beds that are still within their warranty period.
“Moving out” or “salon closing” are the two main situations that help one find powerful and resistant used tanning beds that are still in good shape.
Check forums to see what other people believe about brand models. You can also get access to negative and positive reviews and learn something to help you choose among used tanning beds. You could even talk to salespeople in this activity sector and ask them about the model you are thinking to purchase in the second-hand variant.
Though most of them will try to convince you to avoid used tanning beds and get new equipment, chances are that they will also disclose some tips on the function specificity, resistance, durability and other model features.
Also base your decisions on tanning beds that you have experience with - maybe you've used a particular model in the past and have some personal findings that will help you get a good tanning bed at a decent price.
