To steer this topic back on track, I don't see how hot tub rentals could be as lucrative as you make them out to be.  Mabe I don't understand the logistics, but renting a hot tub doesn't really make any sense to me, like are these things portal, drop off and pick them up kinda thing, or do you have to set them up at a specific location and people come to you.  

Either case, I still don't see much of a market for it.  

Actually, the 2 distributors in my area are making damn good money doing just that. In fact, one said that he made more money renting than selling...

I have no idea how many folks it takes to transport and setup, but at new years they were doing minimum 4-day rental and $450 cost - so my buddy didn't rent one..., but yeah, a lot rent them - as its a lot easier than owning/maintaining/fueling one - and you reclaim the space once your done.

I don't know doesn't seem that cut and dry to me.

Hot tubs are big, so you need a way to transport them.

You'll need help moving them so you'll most likely need at least one other guy to give you a hand.

time ivolved moving, setting up plus paying for someone elses time.

then you have to do it all over again when you pick it up.

Plus these things arn't exactly meant to be moving around constantly so I'm sure there is maintenance and up keep as well.

Cleaning to keep them in tip top shape.  

Sure as hell seems to me like it's not as easy as trading a few pinballs, getting a hot tub, plunk it down and wait for the money to roll in.  If it was that easy everyone would do it.

Yup... including himself... well, he asked me to delete his account anyways. I haven't done it yet. I will spare you all his comments.

And for the hot tubs, the rental ones function on 110V usually. They don't tend to rent super big ones as these need a specific set-up.

Maaaaan where did all the posts go?  I was about to send money!!  I like sending money to Calgary.. it's my new hobby.

He got called on his misinformation, he should have eaten his crow and moved on, everyone makes mistakes once and a while.

But the Hot tub idea, trading a hot tub business for pinballs with nothing of an explanation other then "It'll make you rich I guarantee!" doesn't offer much confidence.  I'll admit when it was trade pinballs for a hot tub, I contemplated the idea as I would like to have a hot tub at some point.  Had I actually had the room for it, then I might have even had a conversation about it.  But giving less information then you find on those flyers on lamp posts claiming "Make $100/hr working from home" what was he expecting??  Us all to drop 5 of our best games at his feet and thank him for spreading his wisdom amongst us unwashed masses.......

the soft tubs are the way to go for the rental business....you CANNOT move the larger fixed ones (which you are prolly thinkin) for a rental gig....
