The Official Craigslist Thread (part 2)

I would but I'm not really anxious to sell this as I kind of want to keep it unless I get a high offer.

The machine looks brand new so its kind of pointless to post a picture I think... but maybe I'm wrong I dunno.

Obviously you know your equipment, but many people on craigslist do not. A lot of times people will put a stock photo of something, I will ask them what it is and for pictures. Then they take a picture of something completely different. So I've grown to not trust stock photos unless the description makes it clear what it is. This means a brand, model, and sometimes year. Just out of curiosity, how many offers have you gotten?

Just an FYI, i usually ask for pictures just because I need to break it down to get through a 30" doorway and the more pictures the better I am able to tell if it will break down enough.

I usually want to see original pics of the equipment b/c it helps me in a number of ways. First I don't waste a trip. Second if you say its like new I will want to see pics demonstrating it is like new. Also many times I've found that the make and model is not what the seller says it is. Sometimes its a cheaper make or model and without a picture then when you get there and point it out and they make excuses. I also have found they have been wrong and much better quality. Once a guy listed dumbbells bars with loose weight come and get them and when he sent me a pic it was an Ironmaster set with tray. I ran and grabbed it. So for me original pics make a difference.

[ftcondell]

Thanks man. Seemed like a good guy on the phone, and I could not find much else from searching around. Appreciate the help!

Hope you enjoy them. Also look around when you get there and see if he has other stuff lying around and see if he will throw that in as well.

Thanks! He would not budge on the 150 price, but they are currently in my basement.

This might be BodySolid, but I'm not 100% sure. I think I saw this ad before with the same pictures and it might have mentioned the brand on it. FWIW lat pulldowns are very common, especially in NJ for some reason. You could probably make out with a $50 selectorized stack one if you're patient and have the transportation.

Yes, it is the body solid one. I was trying to get it but I am not paying $200.00 for that thing. I saw a few in north jersey between $100 to $140. Look on there.

A Precor M9.35 treadmill for $1500.

Is this something I should jump all over?

In terms of US dollars that is not a great price but good. In the used treadmill market I would never pay more than half the new price. They retail new for around $4000 and the price you quote is less than half the new price so if you are going to use it and its in great shape its worth buying. If you are looking to flip-- I checked the used prices for them you MAY be able to filp it for $2100-$2200 but make sure its in great condition. Run on it and check the various inclines and speeds making sure the all work. At that price though it may take a little while to sell and it will depend on the market you are selling it in as well.

This is true as I've also tried to buy things that were not listed correctly. Some were good and some were bad. I guess I should probably post a pic which I'm going to do tonight.

Just an FYI, i usually ask for pictures just because I need to break it down to get through a 30" doorway and the more pictures the better I am able to tell if it will break down enough.

Makes sense

True as well.

Here is an actual pic, I will put this online.

Image 5.5 power rack and bench (no lat pulldown included) with light wear. 45 lb olympic barbell and 345 lbs in Standard plates (4x45; 2x35; 2x25; 2x10; 4x5; 2x2.5) with weight tripod. Rubber mat for underneath rack also included. Can disassemble rack for pick up. Will not deliver.

[_jim_]

not mine or anyone I know, but this seems like a killer deal for 10-100 lbs dumbells and rack.

It does not say in 5 pound increments and the photo does not show enough dumbbells for it to be in 5 pound increments. With that being said it still could end up being a good deal.
