Hi,

Thanks for Questions!

Well, 2 years ago, like you, we were opening a new Salon… We found 6 Tropical Rayz Beds with low hours - a complete Salon for a good Price – and were very happy with the purchase!
However, just after we purchased the Beds - we found Tanning Salon for Sale – so, after thinking for a while we decided to buy already operational Salon – and use the Beds later for our 2nd location next season…
However, closer to the “next season”, nearby was another Business for Sale – a Ladies Boutique… and we bought it too – to even up seasonal Tanning business….

So, the Beds were keeping sitting at the Storage… and I do not know when we will be able to get to the 2nd location…. Since the Clothing Store takes all my time and recourses… If I only knew how much headaches it would be – I would be better off opening a 2nd Salon… But, now it is too late – we signed the Lease for the Store and put way too much money into it already… we cannot quit here…

Tanning Business is much easier – it is kind of: Set it & Forget it… With Clothing - it is constant headache… but it is too late to change it…

So, for now, since we got stock with the Clothing Store - we decided to sell the Beds…

As far as Prices for Beds – make me an offer!
We purchased those Beds as Package, not separately. But if you need only couple beds – I will try to figure out how much they worth.
All reasonable offers will be considered.

The Shipping Prices – I do not know right now, depends first of all on the Distance.
You have to contact Shipping Companies – to get quotes; because prices are changing all the time…
I got a quote for 6 Beds (from AZ to NY) around $2000 a 1.5year ago – but since then gas prices changed… It should be cheaper for you - the Distance is shorter.
Also, prices depending on the season – in the summer it is higher – now should be lower (similar to Airline ticket prices)

If you want to safe money – you can Rent 24 foot Truck and deliver yourself – all 6 Beds will fit in.

You can call or email me to discuss the Prices on Beds.
By the way, how many Beds you are interesting in?

Thanks again for asking!

P.S. Good luck with Business!
P.S.S. I will look for the Shipping Company name, can’t remember off head…
