Buyer & Seller Safety
Your safety is our priority
Floatation tanks are significant purchases, and we want every transaction on FloatTanksForSale to be safe and successful. Follow these guidelines to protect yourself.
For Buyers
- Research the equipment: Familiarize yourself with the brand, model, and typical pricing before making an offer
- Ask questions: Request detailed photos, maintenance history, and documentation. A legitimate seller will be happy to provide information
- Inspect in person: Whenever possible, view the tank in person before purchasing. Check for leaks, salt damage, and proper functionality
- Meet safely: If meeting a seller, choose a public location or bring someone with you. Inform a friend or family member of your plans
- Use secure payment: Avoid wire transfers or cash-only transactions. Use payment methods that offer buyer protection
- Get it in writing: Document the agreed-upon terms, including price, condition, and any warranties or guarantees
- Trust your instincts: If something feels off about a listing or seller, walk away
For Sellers
- Be honest: Accurately describe your tank's condition, including any wear, repairs, or known issues
- Provide documentation: Share original purchase receipts, maintenance records, and user manuals when available
- Take quality photos: Include multiple angles and close-ups of any imperfections
- Screen buyers: Ask questions to ensure the buyer is serious and legitimate
- Secure payment first: For local sales, ensure payment has cleared before releasing the equipment
- Document the sale: Create a simple bill of sale including date, price, and condition acknowledgment
- Protect your privacy: Use your FloatTanksForSale account to communicate initially rather than sharing personal contact info right away
Red Flags to Watch For
- Prices that seem too good to be true
- Pressure to complete a transaction quickly
- Requests for unusual payment methods (gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers)
- Sellers who refuse to allow in-person inspection
- Poor communication or evasive answers
- Requests for personal financial information beyond what's needed for the transaction
