Scottpat Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 At yesterdays inspection the home had a bathroom that I would call unique. It had an open shower area and then it had an old fashion style copper bathtub with a tin liner. It was only a few years old and the owner said the tub cost a little over $4,000. Yes, the window were not safety glass and the tub drain leaked in the crawlspace.

kurt Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm surprised it's so cheap. I saw a similar copper tub in a customers house and it was $20,000. Honest. I about fell over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm surprised it's so cheap. I saw a similar copper tub in a customers house and it was $20,000. Honest. I about fell over. That is what I thought. The price came up when the buyer (6'6" 300lb little guy) asked me how much I thought he could get for it on Craigslist. The owner chimed in and said it cost him $4,000 about 7 years ago. He did say that he also got if from his brother who owned a plumbing showroom.

John Kogel Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Click to Enlarge 33.92 KB Oh that's the tub?? I thought it was the urinal. [:-sour] Yes, the window were not safety glass and the tub drain leaked in the crawlspace. It's a retro installation. They usually just dumped the water out off the back porch.
