York Barbell Club - Part II

[AttyGuy]

Ok, this is embarrassing. Who in Canada did I promise some collars to?

[AttyGuy]

"US" marked buns, probably produced for the U.S. government in the mid-20th Century.

Are those 60s? That is awesome. I just want 60 RHs, the buns look incredible. Congrats.

They are 30s. After, I think, 45s, dumbbells of the era are called globes. And, if you look closely, you'll see "US" under where "YORK" should be. These dumbbells may well have been rejects from the foundry, since the company name is so heavily obscured from the casting.

I'm surprised you don't already have an account, if not for nothing else but to use the ******** marketplace.

I sold something recently on marketplace in 2 days. It had been on CL for months with little action. I like it.

For the most part craigslist is dead. The amount of stuff being sold on marketplace dwarfs clist.

Every once in a while, you're right. This is one of those times.

Checking in.

You are a good guy, Clive.

I think it makes people a little more comfortable that you can see peoples profiles before dealing with them, wondering if it's a scam, etc

I think it's and easier and better search function.

I just did an experiment myself with a set of 85lb PowerBlocks.

Posted on CL let it go for 2 full days - 1 message on the second day with a lowball.

After 2 days, posted on FB Marketplace - got 4 messages in the first hour. 8 messages in the first day, sold within the first day for asking price.

I would say I'm done on CL - there are definitely buyers who don't use ********. I have sold some stuff on CL in the past few months. However, FB Marketplace just kills it - so much easier, more transparency (real names, profile ratings, etc.), you can send money within it, etc.

Thanks to a fellow forum member I now have 12s.

My new Adjustable bench for DB work.

All the bells and whistles except the in FLAT position the pad gap is 2" or so, which does not bother me. In incline position there is no gap.

12" wide padding both seat and back pad. 2 X 2 posts in the front and back and 1/4" steel frame under the seat and back pad. It is probably as light as 5435 . This just based on the feel not actually measuring the weight

wheels and handle were added. Ignore the uprights lying around. I need to fix the Mass storage for DB's as I am rearranging that room.

Nice bench. I still would not remove the tag.

[AttyGuy]

Whoa! Was that bench refurbished? Beautiful.

[vhd16]

The covers on both seat and pad have been replaced

The seat does incline just in one position

Nothing was removed from the original bench except that the covers were replaced

The frame under the seat and back rest was not touched . Both the frames have the original paint.

Beautiful, brother. Beautiful.

Too Many Carbs

My Roundhead collection is almost complete. Almost have two full sets in my quest to complete one.

It’s been a fun journey, now who has my 6’s and 9’s????

[irongrandpa]

Congrats on having 2 sets! Join the “looking for 9’s “ club.

[Sboarder1964]

Got the dumbbells off the floor. Well, most of them anyway.

[Iron1911]

Finally finished my Roundhead set a few weeks ago. Found 95s, 100s and the single 9 the same weekend. I probably could have almost two sets plus plenty extra pairs myself in gathering this set. Mine is mostly USA but not all so I will continue to swap out as I find the pre USA bells I need.

Very nice, reps for you.

Since my last post above I listed more equipment and my wife and I went on a cleaning spree and listed a whole bunch of house stuff. All gone in no time. FB rules

For those close to Dayton, Ohio, noticed some 90-pound globes for $200.

OK which one of you York Dorks lives in Deerfield Beach? lol

I see a bunch of stuff posted on FB

[irongrandpa]

Took the grandkids back home to Columbus so naturally planned my trip around three different stops for some great buys.



Here's the 35 lb plates after a bath and a good coat of oil.
