If you're in the market for a tanning bed, than you've probably already discovered that there's a wide variety of models, makes and prices available. Generally, the more expensive tanning beds are the ones that have a larger number of bulbs, making it quicker and easier to get an overall tan. Prices also vary depending on the shape and style of the tanning bed, as well as the materials it's made from.

New tanning beds start somewhere around the $800 mark for cheap models, somewhere around $3,000 for mid-range models, and for the top of the range tanning beds you can pay as much as $10,000. If these prices are way outside your budget, then you can always consider buying a used tanning bed. These are a great deal cheaper, and usually can be found on sale for between $150 and $2,000.

Start searching for your tanning bed on the Internet. Many online stores can offer tanning beds at prices that are much lower than at your local retail store. This is because they don't have the high overheads involved in maintaining a regular store. Also, most website owners deal directly with the manufacturers, and so have the ability to discount the prices extensively.

Sometimes manufacturers will have a big sale of tanning beds. This might be because the manufacturer wants to phase out a superceded model, and so will offer all the available stock at a discount. Sometimes distributors also have sales, and you might be able to buy a tanning bed at a substantially reduced price at that time.

If you're looking to buy a large number of beds, then you can probably negotiate a better price per tanning bed. Manufacturers and distributors can offer better prices for a bulk order. You might also find that a distress sale or a tanning salon that is selling off its stock are good places to get a bargain.

Take the time to shop around, and you'll soon find ways of buying tanning beds at a better price.
