Hence my remark about them being early Hammer Strength. Wasn't Arthur Jones son running Nautilus at that time? After selling Nautilus, was he the one that started Hammer Strength?

Arthur Jones introduced the Nautilus "Leverage" line in 1985. Arthur sold Nautilus (1986) and started Medx. Gary Jones (Arthur's son) worked on the Leverage line and later started Hammer Strength (1989) which was, in turn, bought by LifeFitness in 1997.

5-110lbs "Pro Style" dumbbell set with rack for 1300$

considering the numbers on there, they seem to be "home made" (can see "57" so probably 57lbs instead of 55lbs)

decent deal?

I just missed out on a set of 5-100lbs York Pro Style set for 800$, sold right before I sent a deposit

Just because they are home made wouldn't make them bad. It would just depend on the quality of the handles and plates and how they fit together. I have a home made set that I bought from a guy that is pretty nice and they are just CAP plates and handles.

As far as weight, most 55lb prostyle dumbbells will likely weigh around 57lbs. They have 55lbs of pankcake plates and then there is the weight of the handles.

The only real negative I see with those dumbbells is the endcaps. Those are just the small circles that will eat into your legs when kicking up heavy plates for benching. Mine had those and I replaced them with large Ivanko metal endcaps that distribute the weight better. I would hold out for a pair that already had the larger endcaps. I got my Ivanko end caps really cheap, but they are usually quite an expensive addition.

Hey guys, I was looking for a power rack and I saw some IM dumbbells pop up on kijiji up here in Canada, it's the 120lb version that is way over priced. The guy can probably be talked down. If you're in the GTA search for them.

[Cimino36]

Anyone ever see these before?

I've seen the product demos on Youtube but I've never seen them in person. I don't remember the company name off hand. IIRC, the adjustable dumbbell plates lock on similar to the way that the Okie collars work.

Edit:

According to the website, the original retail price was $500 with free shipping. I looked on CL and the seller was asking $500 for his used set. LOL.

I kinda like the design of the dumbbells. I don't like the fact that it's just a little rubber band holding the clamshell(s) together, but I'd like to handle a set in person.

I literally had no interest in them, just thought it was a funny looking product.

You can get generic endcaps pretty cheap from Kamway. I'm thinking about replacing mine some day

"Power Rack..... Includes many add on's. Lat attachment with lat bar, rotating curl bar, shoulder fly grip, seat row bar with foot stop. Northern Light Incline to flat bench. 45lb Olympic bar and plates."
He's asking 1200 for everything including 120lbs of weight. What's it worth?

That appears to be an old Bodysmith (by Parabody) rack, which might be worth ~$200-$250 (possibly even less), $50-$75 for the bench (those NL benches are hard to get rid of in this area), $60 for the 120lb of weights, and about $30-$40 for the bar. The lat attachment and various handles add little (if any) value to the package.


So figure $350-$425 for the lot, and that's only if you're planning on keeping it because there's just no room for profit on these pieces at that price.

FWIW, $1200 would get you a brand new Body Solid GPR378, a decent bench, a new 300# oly set w/barbell, and you'd still have cash left over for a plate tree, some accessories, and a big tub of protein.

I concur with pricing estimate. If this this was on CL, it might be CL dreamer worthy. He doesn't even have 45lb plates. Does he even lift bro? Tarp or no tarp, I hate it when people keep their gear out in the elements.

I knew it was nowhere near what he was asking but damn, I was thinking maybe $500 region. Thanks once again for the help! Greatly appreciated!

update on this, picking them up Sunday, guy accepted my 1150$ offer for them

pricing the 2 racks at probably 300$ .. that's 850$ for 2530lbs of dumbbells, so ~0.33$/lbs, I think I did good

checked for end caps, can probably buy enough for the whole set for around 200$ so that will probably be the first thing I do with them once I clean them up

I think you got a great deal, especially with what appears to be two heavy duty racks and the fact that you can get the end caps for $200.

I don't understand why that nebula rack is still for sale at that price. Maybe the seller is one of those lazy fugks that never take down ads.

I bought the entire dumbbell set yesterday, just so I could get the 45lb pair. Yup, addicted..
