Cautions When Buying Used Tanning Bed

Tanning beds can cost a pretty penny to buy new, so a better option for some is to purchase a used tanning bed. Buying a used tanning bed does not mean you will be sacrificing a quality tan, because it is probable that the used tanning bed will be in good maintained condition.

There are several different avenues you can search for used tanning bed, with the most common place being the classified section of a newspaper. People sell their old tanning beds for a variety of reasons such as moving or they just no longer need the tanning bed.

It is also possible to purchase a used tanning bed from a tanning salon. When salons upgrade their tanning bed models, they often sell their existing tanning beds at a discounted price. The Internet offers another opportunity to find and buy used tanning beds, and online auction sites like Ebay are a perfect place to find tanning beds that are affordable.

When you are considering the purchase of a used tanning bed, you need to scrutinize the condition of the tanning bed you find. You need to check the wiring for wear and fray, look at the condition of the bulbs and ask when they were last replaced. Find out the model of the tanning bed, so you can do some research in order to find out if you can still obtain parts for maintenance such as bulbs.

If you are making your used tanning bed purchase online, you should look for a reputable dealer who sells both new and used tanning beds. Make sure you find out what the cost of transporting and delivering the tanning bed to your home will be, and who will pay that cost -- you or the seller.

Again, make sure you know what type of bulbs the used tanning bed will take. Some older models may take bulbs that emit dangerous levels of ultraviolet radiation, as opposed to the newer models that have better filtering capabilities. You should also ask the seller how easy is it to replace the bulbs and the acrylic sheets.

Last, it is important to find out the reason the tanning bed has been put up for sale. Is it being sold because of a defect or because the owner is upgrading to a newer model or because they are moving? It is also good to ask if the tanning bed is still covered by the warranty, which will make for more of a savings to you if you need to have it repaired.
