The price for beds "sitting in a salon" is worth more to you if you are KEEPING them there then to someone else to buy them from you. Because they will have to factor in the cost of having them extracted and to THEIR salon and installed.

Plus - depends on condition - do they need acrylics ($200-600 or so each), relamped ($200 - $800 each), etc

Overall - as a salon owner trying to sell those beds - I'd plan on getting about $11-13K.

To BUY them - in the salon, in place, in reasonable condition and be able to USE them.......might be worth more like $25K (so the sellers might be thinking more of that range).

Either way - make sure you check the electric and room sizes. Holidays are nice Level 1's and I like the Silver Star as well. But you will need something that performs more than the Starpower at the top end. So make sure you have enough electric to upgrade. And factor that into your costs (will have to upgrade wire size to at least some rooms probably)
