Buying A Used Tanning Bed
Below is a MRR and PLR article in category Health Fitness -> subcategory Other.
Buying a Used Tanning Bed
Overview
Purchasing a used tanning bed is similar to buying any second-hand appliance, like a used car or stair lift. The main advantage is the reduced cost, but it's important to be aware of potential pitfalls. For instance, a used stair lift might have a noisy mechanism, and a used car could require part replacements. So, what should you consider when buying a second-hand tanning bed?
Key Considerations
Research the Model
Treat buying a used tanning bed like purchasing a used car. Know the model, year of manufacture, and features. While tanning beds are relatively recent innovations, older models can pose safety concerns. Older tanning beds may emit type A ultraviolet radiation (UV-A), linked to skin cancer and similar ailments. Newer models typically use type B ultraviolet radiation (UV-B), which is safer but not entirely without risk.
Evaluate Features and Functionality
Inspect the tanning bed's features to ensure they're functioning correctly. Malfunctions can pose health risks, such as UV ray exposure. Ask if parts like lamps and acrylic sheets are easy to replace. If the owner admits maintenance issues, consider alternatives.
Understand the Sale Reason
Find out why the tanning bed is for sale. If it's due to a non-functioning timer or bulb, it may indicate deeper issues. However, if the sale is due to the owner moving or financial reasons, the bed might still be in good working order. Always check for an existing warranty.
Warranty Information
Tanning bed warranties vary. Some offer comprehensive coverage for a limited time (around a year), while others provide a lifetime limited warranty. Even a used tanning bed should ideally come with some form of warranty. If the existing warranty has expired, it might signal potential problems.
Pricing Insights
Some users suggest that the price difference between new and used tanning beds is not significant, depending on the brand and model. Therefore, assess whether the savings on a used bed justify potential risks.
By taking these considerations into account, you can make an informed decision when buying a used tanning bed, ensuring both safety and value for your investment.
