Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 a, Same here - I have a portable infrared sauan and I didn't use it in the summer, but keep meaning to pull it back out again so I can use it now. I went on e-bay and found mine, it was somewhere around $200 or $250. It works well, and it's made of cloth and folds up when not in use.
