Availability of Intex Pools (COVID-19 impact)

[NY Smokeater]

It's not Intex but found a Coleman 18x48" on Walmart. It was showing 2 Available at the time of this post.

If anyone else is trying to get out of the dog house, 5his could be your chance.

I have not heard back from Intex support about availability so...

Walmart has this 18x52 right now.

Robot or human?

I just can never get over how far those pools have come in a relatively short time. They were basically blue burlap sacks with white pipes when I was building. If someone likes that look, it’s still available, but there are so many other options now, including rectangles, Kermit the Frog green or camouflage....... there is something for everybody. And in a pinch, unexpectedly stuck home either from work or watching children, is a heck of way to have a pool for $74- $2000.

I ordered a Intex 22’x52” with sand filter a couple weeks ago from Walmart. The pool was $897 the day before I ordered it, $997 the day I ordered it, and now it’s $1199. You may have missed the good deals by now.

I called Intex pool corporate office about two weeks ago and spoke with a customer service representative. I was told they are out of pools because China’s manufacturers are not sending them because of Covid 19 and they don’t know when the pools will be coming in.

Its been crazy were i live.
We had plans to buy 15 x 48. No luck due to covid.
So started looking on marketplace people are over pricing the Crud out of them.
My wife lucky found summer waves 14 x 42 at walmart. $220
Same pool some guy on Market place wants $700 for.
I ask him if it was the same pool that walmart sales.
He says yes.
I said Dang you must got one that had few extra 100 bills in it.
But now people are buying them up and re saleing in my area.
It pisses me off. Im all about good hustle but Dang. Most of the time these pools are for kids.
To think some redneck is going to make few extra hundred dollars just because he snatch up supply at walmart. Just like friggin tp hoarders.
Like some one is going to get rich off some one probably just barley making it because everybody hours been cut to 40 or 32 a week.
Sorry its sore subject for me had to vent.

It’s valid as can be. Have at it. I’ve been on this earth long enough to see things come back around. The karma train is a mean mean lady.

the hoarders have kids too. It always levels out somehow given enough time.

I know what you mean!!!!

This is our 4th year buying Intext pools. It has been such a headache trying to find an Intext 18x43 that doesn't cost over $1800. It took us over a month.

We found the Intex Prism Frame Premium 18x43 on eBay. Some guy bought a couple from their local target and resold them. With taxes and all, it came out to $1,500 Its for the kids! and we have 5 of them!

Best of luck!

We had the same problem finding a pool. It would say in stock at Walmart, but when we went, no pools. One day it said no stock and my husband went by anyway. He found a different, more expensive pool than we were looking for, he got it anyway, since it was the first he'd seen in weeks of looking. I was looking on Ebay and Facebook, and the prices are crazy there!

Look at you being proactive! It never even occurred to me to call & ask! We’re good for this year, but I was hoping to get my XTR for next year on sale this fall, but if they can’t get em, they won’t be on sale. The only place I can find one is over double the normal pricing.
