Craigslist Hottub Deals! Post what you find!
« on: January 04, 2008, 01:37:35 pm »
I think it would be helpful to start a thread to help people looking for quality used hottubs. Granted craigslist is few and far between and you have to be patient but I found this great deal today and if I didn't already have a tub I would jump on it! So if you find a good deal on a used tub post to this thread.


Hotsprings Envoy w/Spaudio for sale $8000 Indianapolis
http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/for/526057854.html

Dang found another great deal!
Hotsprings 2006 Vanguard $5500
http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/for/522909553.html

Have to mention that this vanguard is the exact same color shell and interior as the one I own!! Sure wish this would have been available last year when I was looking to buy. Oh well someone is going to get an awesome deal on a top of the line hottub!

This is a GREAT idea and this is probably one of the few forums where we could "get away it it" as these guys are as interested in HELPING buyers as they are in hocking their own wears. Cudo's to WTBHT.

The Envoy doesn't look like any kind of a bargain as mot resales are typically only about 50% of the current MARKET price but listing these would give us a good idea of the true "resale market value" of these things so that whenever one of us considers selling our existing tub and moving up to a bigger or more expensive tub, we won't have to look all over creation for the Hot Tub "Blue Book" value.  We also won't have to rely solely on the price "guessimate" of the dealer we are buying our next one from.  Great IDEA!

I agree.  The Envoy seems at least a thousand too high to me.  The Vanguard looks about right.  Great idea on this thread, though.

I get a kick out of some of the adds. The Envoy is at least 4 years old.....
2005 Hot Spring Envoy still going strong. Million-Mile Club....

I want to get in the spa business so I can surf the internet and use Photoshop all day long.

I agree.  You take on a lot of risk when purchasing a used spa not to mention moving it and what can happen when it is moved.  Spas don't hold their value for good reason.  Four year old Envoy is worth maybe 50% of new, IMO...and thats if it is working perfectly.

I like this one. "We spent $1,000 for the conduit box.......".

The electrical panel is included with a HS spa.

Yep, there are some good deals but you have to be careful. There seems to be a Grey Market for spas in my area. The good ones go really quick....

Are you talking about women or hot tubs?

Here's another way of going about the search using Google:
     http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=site%3Acraigslist.org+"hot+tub"+sale&btnG=Search

Click on the above link and you'll get something like 17,000 hits.
To narrow it down to your area, add the name of your city in the Google search box.

My favorite search is http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Acraigslist.org+"hot+tub"&btnG=Google+Search.
You'll find, right at the top of the list, "To my naked hot tub party neighbors", an open letter from a guy in Portland.  It might come in handy! ;D

Hot Spring Spa Hot Tub seats 6-8 Person W Cover - $1500

Jan 10, 2008 (Dallas, Texas CraigsList)

WOW!!!! What an Awesome time to buy a Spa/Hot tub for your Honey..
Believe me you'll also enjoy it, haha... The only reason we are selling it is
we're moving out of State. It sure has been nice lately with these cool nights.

This is a HOT SPRING brand and the model is; Sovereign.
It is a 1999 I think.. It is in Great Condition, with No cracks inside.

We just spent over $700 on it putting all new jets, a New Heater,
and a New Pump in it, So you've just about got a New Tub for a fraction
of the cost....

This is the #1 Selling Brand of Hot Tub/Spa's

It comes with the cover and the bracket that holds it on.

Dimensions are 6'8" X 7'9" X 33" H with 23 total jets including one
Moto-Masage lounger, two Soothing Seven jets, two Jet-Stream jets,
two Rotary Hydromassage jets, two Directional jets, and 14 directional
Precision jets with FootWell massage. With proper PH balance and 102
degree heat has an average cost to operate of less than $1 per day

This one looks like a great opportunity for someone, although it is an unfortunate indicator of our economic times.
