Ok, so hopefully you have found a tanning bed that suits your buying criteria, but before you buy you may just want to follow some of the following tips to make sure that your money is spent on an item that is going to do the job you want.
When buying off somewhere like ebay it is tempting just to get it delivered, and while I would agree if it was a small item like tanning lotion, for a high ticket item like a tanning bed itself I would definitely stay local and pick it up yourself. By local I would say within a 200 mile radius.
Make sure you get ALL of your queries answered. Make sure you send the seller 3, 4 or even 5 emails on any specifics or questions that come to mind no matter how dumb you think the question may be.

Pester The Seller
Make sure you get ALL of your queries answered. Make sure you send the seller 3, 4 or even 5 emails on any specifics or questions that come to mind no matter how dumb you think the question may be.
Watch Other Auctions
Use other auctions to give you an idea of the kind of prices you should expect to pay. Also if there is a specific brand or model you are after, look at completed auctions on that item and find out a general figure of how much has been paid for that item in the past. (TIP: You can also look at the questions on these auctions for ideas as to what you should be asking your seller)
Pick Up
When you have won the auction first of all make sure the seller does not charge you delivery as you are going to be picking it up. Secondly, when you have hired your Uhaul and arrive at the sellers premises, make sure you give all the bulbs etc.. a thorough inspection. Also get it switched on and make sure timers are working as well. Hopefully, by now you should have had enough communication with the seller for this not to feel uncomfortable, and in fact they should be more than eager to assist you. And now once you are 100% happy, please don't forget to pay them!

Now you have got your tanning bed home make sure you come back to www.tanningbeds4less.info for all your lotions and accessories ;-)
