going to buy a distressed salon

[Glowtanning530]

I can't suggest without knowing the size of the current rooms and whats already there.

quote from paperwork of previous owner as of 2005

8 Beds total = $40,000 in beds (used)

(3) 10 minutes lay downs (Dr. Kern Beds)

(3) 20 minute Lay downs (Dr. Kern Beds)

(2) stand-ups (Sun Dome Speed Systems XL48

[tuscantan]

that standup is scary....i like the "exit" sign, that's pretty funny

[JustTans23]

Is the same bed in each room?

Do you know the dimensions of the rooms? That space looks pretty tight in there. Any upgrade beds are going to be bigger.

I dont know what kind of bed that is but maybe someone that knows more can tell you.

[Glowtanning530]

Who valued the beds at $40k

[Glowtanning530]

picture is blurry is that a 28 lamp lay down?

[JustTans23]

Brian valued them at 8000 I think. I dont feel like going and looking for that post.

[JustTans23]

I have a sun dome. it sucks. I hate it.

[Glowtanning530]

Jeff is right about buying used and repos.
With all the salons going under there is a surpluss out there right now. He is also right about plan on relamping. Just make sure your current rooms can accomadate the new beds, before you pay for them.

Don't plan on unloading those beds quick.

[JeffK]

I think he gets the point that those beds are not what he needs..

My own opinion, I would not want them simply because it'd be harder to bring people BACK into the salon if or once they are aware of the stuff that's out there today..

They might tan once, or use out their package they bought, but repeat sales could be a problem..

So if you're going to do it, plan on springing for beds.. check eBay.. Craigslist has been a bust when I've searched.. honestly, maybe even spend awhile on different sites that come up as results for "used tanning bed" on Google to see what you're getting in to price wise.. Good luck..

Yes I did value it at 9k worth of Boat Anchors, Dumpster Food, Landfill...All junk.

Next (same) question, how many amps three phase available? How many tons of A/C available?

[Brian Oshman]

Also, go in and take a tape measure and measure each room.

[Glowtanning530]

and if the doors open in to the room make sure that it wont hit a wider bed

[hiii98]

i dont have answers for any of these new questions.

[Brian Oshman]

And let's start listening, this post has gone full circle and apparently all you like to do is hear yourself talk. Shut the fuque up and start listening to what is being said to you. When you are asked a question then answer it.

You asked for negotiating advice well this is all part of it so pay attention and stop wasting all of our time repeating ourselves otherwise you will just be the palm end of a bitch slappin'.

[Glowtanning530]

I heart Brian

Oh Brian I sent you an email.

[Tanning Queen]

NEW questions????? The same ones have been asked several times.

They have all been asked of you several times, now go to retretrieve the info and post it.

[Glowtanning530]

For my sake of not reading back, is there a computer? or timer?
If I have to read I will.

[hiii98]

Yes a timer, software, computer and unit for controlling all beds.
