Inexpensive Freestanding Bath Tub?
Does such a thing exist? Can one be had new for under $1000? I love the old clawfoot tubs, but a restored one I understand is expensive, and I'm wary of dropping $300-$500 on a salvage clawfoot that I would have to work on myself.

There's always someone somewhere getting ridding a clawfoot for free. You can get it professionally painted for about $450.

Also try Craigslist and Ebay. Sometimes they turn up on this forum too. Not all of them are total wrecks. As long as the enamel is good on the inside, you're good to go. Painting the outside is not that big a deal, even if you have to strip it. The good thing about metal is that paint comes off pretty easily, and if you don't want to do it yourself, it should be easy to find someone. Sometimes people are giving them away, most of the time they are around $300.
All in all, very much under $1000 dollars, and if you rehab it, you also have a tale to tell when you are showing it off.
