Is there a 'best time' to buy a solid greenhouse?

Hi there,
I've really enjoyed my walk in plastic greenhouse this year, but it's not built to last. I'd like to get a solid one and was wondering if there's a best time to buy, at the end of the current season or some such? Is there a gardening equivalent of the January sales?

TIA

    One problem with dismantling is the glass is more brittle with age, so you most likely finish up breaking some panes, replacement horticultural glass will not be cheap, so the bargain may not be so good once time and extra cost are factored in
