Buying used can be agreat idea but the buyer must beware. If you can not see the bed in person make sure you get good pics of the bed, preferably before and during disasembly. I have purchased some used beds over the years that were in excelent shape other than normal wear and tear. I have alos bought a bed that was a different year than I was told and was in terrible shape. So yes it cn be a good idea as long as you are careful.

This is what I told a rep when i got a dirty, hairy, nasty, used tanning bed that looked "great" in the pics he sent ( I'll spare the brand of the bed..I don't wanna be accused of being vindictive) for the low, low price of $6500.00 (yyyeaah right)..."If it looks like sh*t and smells like sh*t then I am gonna have to believe that it is a piece of sh*t. So make it go away from my salon ('cause it was grossing me out), dream on about any cash and TRY Again. I can NOT STRESS this enough..NEVER, EVER, EVER put any money down, deposit, hold fee, lay away on a used bed you have never seen...My cash would have been gone along with that gross excuse for a bed..it would have been cheaper on them (12 hours 1 way to my neck of the woods by Ford) to give up one of those radpid rewards vouchers or really DETAIL that thing. People are so crazy and blunder customer service 9 outta 10 times.
