Author Topic: Warehouse Sale (Read 4281 times)

I came home tonight to find a spa dealer had sent me (along with probably 2,000 other people) a flyer on their "sale".

Interesting it's a VIP sale and I've never set foot into their store, although I passed it a few times while shopping for a tub but it was always closed. They have a spa for $8,495 and add another $2,400 in options to sell the spa at a discounted price of $8,499. The flyer even has the serial number on it ... hmm, reminiscent of the old car bait and switch scheme.

I know hot tubs are becoming really popular - have other people seen this type of advertising before? It's new to me!

Vin,

The only other type of warehouse deals I've seen are the Gulf Coast Spas, they set up in a warehouse or someone's shed, post the price of $8799.00, 45 jets, 3 pumps, selling for $3795.00. I know they move alot of spas through this means of marketing.
Not really sure of the quality, but, hey $3795.00, you can buy another when it craps out.

Not really the direction I would go if I were shopping the hot tub experience...

Vinny,

I got it also. Today in the mail, I've never been there, never requested information, nothing. Yeh, I saw the serial numbver also. I wonder if the serial numbers all match. I do know of this dealer, just opened a retail store last year, sold Coast last year, now Hydropool, what do you think he'll sell next year?. What is your special serial number?

Maybe we can get a deal, NOT....

Maybe you can have some fun ... Mail them a flyer (only them) of a fantastic sale on Sundance, Marquis and Artesian spas. List a Sweetwater (Sundance 700 series now) Bahia and list all the equipment it has and the selling price of $_______ . (I personally know it's lower than $8,499 - I've been to your store

). Maybe make them sweat!!!

BTW, the serial number is 2005010460 - if it's the same maybe we should go together ... nah, I got too much to do than to waste my time goofing on people.

Just a quick reference to the serial number, 2005010460. It's the same...

I think we have a winner, the first one to the dealership gets the spa for the low price of $8499.00. Warehouse price

, sounds more like retail, plus, plus, plus

Actually I know 2 people who went to a convention center in PA and bought Thermospas - I think one paid $3,000 and one paid a little more with an extended warranty - I think they were blemished spas. They seem to love their spas!

Before I found this and Doc's site I was thinking about buying a Thermospa and was considering going to this place but luckily I became "educated" in the world of spas.

If yea want junk get a Gulf Coast and if yea want something a bit better and will last yea get a Jacuzzi Premium,Hotsprings,Sundance.And would hate to get a Thermo Spa because when you let one of their salespeople in you will never get rid of him,its like buying a timeshare lol.Jt :-/

Hey Thunders, Have you ever sat in a Gulf Coast Spa? I have one and I love it, have had no (zero, nil, zip) problems in 3 years, and even if I did I know my dealer would support it 100% as I buy all my chemicals from him.

Its ok to call a spa brand junk if you want to defend it, but I don't allow name calling, even if it is a word a 4 year old wouldn't get slapped for.

Two posts in 3 months and only to defend Gulf Coast? That tends to make people suspicious. (For what little its worth)
