Re: ERGOLINE?

wow!

why all of the negativity about Ergoline?

Ergoline/Soltron are good beds, you have to research your demographic and your competition to accuratley make a decision on your beds, just my opinion. you also hardly ever see these beds for sale "used". MMM?????? I wonder why? Maybe because folks love them, why sell something that is making money and making folks happy.

All beds have their good and bad, what really matters is what everyone around you is using and your demographics. I think we spent about 20,000 more for our beds than a lot of others we could have bought, but then again, everyone around here uses the same beds, either ETS, or some very old models.

As usual, there are good and bad opinions on here about the same subject.

research your beds, see what others close by are using, negogiate the purchase, and don't get buyers remorse, once you buy, live with it and make it work!

why would you say that if someone spent 100,000 for new equipment, they would not make it? That's absurd! It has nothing to do with what you spend, if you have the capital to do so. a sound business plan, start up capital, and operating capital to get you through the first 6-12 months is what is needed. Don't tell someone that the amount they spend on beds is what will make their business work or not, especially if you don't know their finances. Oh I forgot, you sell used beds, guess I can see why you would say this.

Re: ERGOLINE?

The best thing to do is to do a search on different bed companies.
I purchased my beds from American Sun Systems...awesome people 800-537-9113
They will give you all the info you need. The beds are easy to maintain, lamps are awesome and last. Clients love the tan. When you call, based on your location, they may or maynot be able to service your area. They are only 45 minutes from me, so it is easy to get service, and most times, they can work me through the problem, when I have had one.
If you need any other help, please feel free to PM or email me from my site
www.tanning-emporium.com and I will be glad to help you.
