Welcome to our forum.
We charge $250 to move a HotSpring, as well. It is a bargain for the customer. If some damage occurs to the spa, we will be responsible for restitution.Terminator
$250 is a bargain in my opinion. If you think about it, most dealers will add $200 - $300 to the cost of the spa for delivery to the consumer’s house even if it is "free" delivery. We all know nothing is free. However when you move a spa, you are essentially doing 2 deliveries. I would think to move a spa the price should be closer to $500.
I charge $400.00 within 50 miles of my store. Some customers are elated, and others act as if I am the devil reincarnated. Either way, still $400.00
Having lost the last spa (it went with the house) I can offer that it definitely was not my intent to part with it. The proverbial offer that couldn't be refused cost me the spa, but facilitated the sale. The answer as to which way to go, depends almost entirely on the buyer of the property. My spa made the house more desireable than any other and the buyer wanted the whole package. If I had held firm on the spa not being part of the sale either a) the buyer would have walked, or b) the price would have been much lower. As far as I can tell, the $8,000 spa sold the house for $30K more than would have been true otherwise. Admittedly this is an overheated market, but both the appraiser and the broker felt that the spa sold the house for that much more than it was worth.Regards,Bill
