Yes - standard rule of thumb for tanning salons is 1.5-2.5x net, but "standard" and "rule of thumb" are all just that - generalities. At the end of the day, it is worth what someone will pay for it of course!

If you are grossing 200k, with paid off equipment, only 8 units and Philly, I might expect your costs to be about $100K/year. Payroll 36K, Utilities 12K, Rent 25-35K, etc

Given that, as said, if I were selling, I might ask 200K.

If I were BUYING, I'd argue that your equipment is outdated, doesn't have levels, etc

Which you would then again show me the Profit & Loss statement and say "I think this speaks for itself about if this is working"

In the end though, it comes down to how much it is worth it to you not to have it anymore, and how much it is worth to someone else to take it off your hands!
