this is a pretty good deal but you can always try to talk him down a bit.

Thanks both of you.. Damn you guys here are quick to reply.. Sweet! Haha.. Anyhow some guy emailed me saying he had...

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...448820581.html
These are the pictures.. http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t=0e951c5e.pbw

It's been dismantled because he said it couldn't fit but he said he'd put it together for me to test if needed.. I can't tell if that's a power rack or just some full home-gym?.. The brand is Continental Systems I think.. thoughts?..

If I could get a power rack with all the goods for $300ish I'd be more than willing even though it's out of my budget atleast I won't be limited to what I can do.

Thanks.. Hmm I probably won't outgrow the 210lbs max weight for a while but I guess I should try and hold out maybe eh? So half racks are a no no.. Thanks again haha.. Sucks to not know about using CL to buy weights ;x

I love people like that guy!!!!!

Thanks! I think this has put me over the top, I have everything I need to completely cancel my gym membership. Well...........everything I need until I find another rediculous deal. LOL

I think I have become a Craigslist junky!

[amarSJ]

man i wish i could find some really good deals here in san jose like you guys find daily in the mid west. over here everything on craigslist is overpriced. people try to sell used pullup towers for 100$ more than they cost new...

[shadysalesman]

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...449749846.html

The pictures aren't too great cause they are pictures of a picture.. I'll try to get more, only thing it doesn't come with is a bench I believe.. Thoughts?? He's asking $300 and it's close by.. I don't mind waiting If this sucks.

Thanks!

Nah, I never did. I sold most of the big stuff really quick too, I might still do it in my deal thread, but all I have left is some plates. Actually, I have a lot of plates right now. I have about 2400lbs to sell and about 1700 lbs more coming tomorrow. Not getting any calls either, just a bunch of yahoos emailing me.

They look beat up due to being used with chalk. You'd be surprised how fast you can change the look of your equipment if you're careless with chalk use.
The guy looks like he has some serious equipment.

They could possibly be had for a few hundred less, which would put them at a pretty decent discount vs. new 2 sets of Ivanko competition PL Kg plates. They are expensive new.

Would echo what Hardkore said, with respect to the heavy duty piece at the top of the picture.

Sold my Powertec rack for $350 and picked up a Cybex rack this evening for $250. I'm much happier with this rack and the height is not a problem

But anybody know why this rack has 3 chin-up bars? I'm guessing the two up top allow for hammer chins??? The one in the back makes training with smaller people possible?

very nice, toddy. an upgrade like that and an extra $100 in your pocket is a good trade off!

not sure about the pullup bars, but too many would be a cool problem. usually there aren't enough- and the short one would be cool to have. not sure what to do with it, but it would be nice to hang my chains/belt/rings on when i'm not using them.

that's alot of money to spend on plates! they would be cool to have, though (if i was rich). it looks like there's chalk everywhere, look at the floor!
