- 1). Check your local newspaper classified ads. Many times people put their hot tubs up for sale after only using them for a few months. For some people the novelty of a new hot tub wears off quickly and then it just sits on their deck un used.
- 2). Search the internet for "cheap discount hot tubs". There are many discount hot tub retailers such as choosehottubsdirect.com and inventoryspas.com. I recommend finding a location as close to you as possible because shipping charges can be enormous. Some discount hot tub suppliers will ship to a near by hot tub retailer for free and then you can pick it up from there.
- 3). Search Craigslist for used hot tubs. If you are buying a large hot tub, be ready for a project. Hot tubs are extremely heavy and can take as many as 10 people to lift them. If you are going to buy a hot tub from Craigslist or anywhere that delivery isn't included, I would recommend considering buying a portable hot tub. These hot tubs are smaller and a lot easier to move.
