Welcome to our forum.
Hi, everyone:I've found this website very informative and thank everyone for the feedback provided! I live in NY. Visited a very well known dealer in the Tri-state area and have been given the pricing structure below. Other forums on this website are showing comps for these tubs that are $2,000-$3,000 lower than these figures, normalized for like-prices (apples to apples comparison). It appears this dealer is building quite a bit of margin into their pricing, but I wanted to solicit opinions from others on this forum... and hopefully be educated on what I might be missing here! Are they low volume and building more overhead/freight/profit into their pricing? I'm all for reasonable business practices, and understand that dealers need to make a profit, but want to make sure I'm not being taken advantage of, or incurring costs for their poor business model.Please help.---X7 - $8,200R6 - $10,100R7 - $11,900A6 - $11,900A7 - $13,800*All prices include "15% discount", sales tax, delivery/placement, and chemical starter kit.**X model includes cover only; does not include cover lifter or matching steps***A & R models include cover, cover lifter, and matching steps
TMan122 - thank you for reading/responding. We have not checked out other brands. This dealer solely sells BullFrog. After much research, we Prefer BullFrog. Though we may do more shopping around if the feedback we see here leads us in that direction.

Are the other quality brands priced just as high?
Thanks, JoeCappi: Sounds like you and I may have encountered the same dealer, judging by the exact dollar amounts you provided. Any suggestions on other dealers/brands on Long Island that you are now seriously considering?
