Where on the Island are you? Try asking around at a pool store, you'll be amazed at how many customers at the pool store get so angry because they always have algae and are willing to get rid of the pool. I can't tell you how many times I have heard, "I wish I never got this stupid thing!" Or, maybe someone is there looking to upgrade to something bigger, and would be willing to let you have the old one for free, if you remove it and cart it away. Never hurts to ask... Also check the classified section in Newsday, they may have listed one in there. However, if you are only looking for an exact size 15' round, you may have to just buy it new. Besides, having someone elses hand me downs are not always bargains.
