Tanning beds can be expensive, so if you can find one that's on sale, you can get a great bargain. In order to find a tanning bed that's for sale, you will need to spend some time scanning the classifieds of your local newspapers. Generally that's where you'll find sale advertisements from retailers, manufacturers, tanning salon owners or individuals who are looking to sell tanning beds.

You need to make certain whether the tanning bed is new or used. Most of the time, manufacturers and retailers will be trying to get rid of stock that's been sitting in their warehouse or store too long, taking up space. Basically the tanning beds are earning them nothing, so they'd rather sell them cheap and get some of their capital back. A sale also gives them room to stock newer models. The discounts aren't always massive, but they can still be big enough to make a purchase worthwhile. However you might not be able to buy exactly the model you want.

Used tanning beds, on the other hand, are something of an unknown quantity. They can be in reasonable condition, right through to in very bad condition. It's very unlikely you'll be able to purchase a current model. The bed may even require some maintenance after purchase before it can be used properly. Still, it's possible to pick up a tanning bed at a rock bottom price, particularly if it's a distress sale run by a tanning salon, or an individual's garage sale, where they just want to get rid of all their stuff as quickly as possible.

Although classifieds is a good way to find sales, not all sales will be advertised there. Your local salon owner may just put a sign up in their window if they're having a sale. Garage sales can be the same. It's not always easy to find sales advertised in such a haphazard manner.
