Rep Power: 21 ED ST will become famous soon enough
An older couple, who own a big tanning salon in the Cleveland area, were at URI's will call counter yesterday picking up an order. In the meantime, they looked over the spray tanner set up in the lobby of the will call area. They eventually asked about the price. When I told them it was in the area of $32K, the husband laughed and said that that was $4000.00 more than they paid for their first house.

What about this?

That $32K is more than most will pay for their next new car!

Can we all agree that a spray tanner, any spray tanner, is not as difficult or costly to produce as a car?

Same goes for any UV tanning equipment.

There is a huge bubble in the pricing of tanning equipment! It's gotta blow!

thats so true, but the manufacturer's(sp?) know you're going to make money off of the spray unit as opposed to a new car.

Couldn't agree more.

However it's all about supply and demand. As long as you & I can afford to pay for one they will continue to sell at extortionate amounts. However as soon as we stop buying, the price will drop.

Personally, I believe we are going to keep buying at that amount for some time to come yet. For as soon as one salon closes, cause it aint making enough dough, sure enough it will be bought out by someone else, who wants the latest sunless/UV's etc and so the ride goes on and on.
