I think a more accurate figure would be 15-20 cents on the dollar after 5-6 years.We built ours on used equipment . I paid about 20 cents on the dollar for my sonnenbraunes and sportarredos and they all had under 3,000hrs.

What you "think" your bed is worth is not what you will get if you sell it.
The tanning bed market is flooded with used equipment,it keeps driving the prices down.
Not as much on power beds,but definitely on the base beds.
