Post by: stancemx6 on March 11, 2014, 03:25:10 pm

Hi all, we just bought a house and this guy was included on the pad out back. I have no need for it and would prefer to sell it to buy myself a tig welder which i need far more than the hot tub.  just wanting to know what i could get out of it.

I uploaded a video hopefully it covers everything

I paid $1,000 for a '98 HS Jetsetter which is one size smaller than your Sovereign a couple of months ago.  It is however overall in a little better shape than yours (probably spent most / all its life indoors).  While shopping for mine I found a couple of similar model year Sovereigns (97-99) priced between $1,200 and $1,500, with the $1,200 example being outdoors like yours.

so you think i could get $1000 for it? of course it would probably take the right buyer.

besides that, i've never even seen a hot tub in person before this, i'd imagine there isn't a very large market for used hot tubs, what do you think the best/fastest way to sell this would be?

Thanks
Tim

When shopping I found most ads through online classifieds like craigslist, oodle, bookoo, and of course ebay.  Craigslist has lots of dealer spam though, and ebay has a national audience, but most buyers will be within about 100 mile radius, so it partly depends on your local population base.  If you can show it functioning and provide assistance loading onto a trailer, you will probably sell faster.
