I'm hoping to score this set off of my local craigslist, emailed him, hoping to hear back soon
HEX DUMBBELL SET WITH RACK - $650
THIS IS A HEX DUMBBELL SET FROM 10LB TO 70LBS. COMES WITH RACK TO HOLD SET. RACK WILL NOT FIT THE 60LB AND 70LB DUMBBELLS THOUGH.
SET INCLUDES: PAIRS OF 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, AND 70'S. HAVE TW0 PAIRS OF 2.5LB PLATEMATES TO MAKE A SET OF 55, 65, AND 75 DUMBBELLS. ASKING 650 OR REASONABLE BEST OFFER.


EDIT- Picking them up today for 600$, which isn't too bad but it doesn't compare to the usual "steals" I read a lot of other forum members having. Not bad for my area which is a dead market however. Still excited to have some DB's to go with my Iron-Master 120's

[oldskooler]

Anyone know anything about Spartan Sports? I like the looks of the plate. Hoping to pick the 300 lb set worth bar and a Weider leverage type bench for $100 this weekend.

"Right before my wife left me for overweight_twilight_fanguy45, we decided to get in shape together. To that end I purchased a fantastic HealthRider Outlook treadmill with built in 7in TV so I could distract myself from the fact that I was moving. It also features a built-in fan so that I could cool my fat body while I sweat. Well shortly after I purchased this beautiful piece of exercise equipment, the woman I gave my heart to decided that she was more Team Edward than Team Me and ran off with a guy that looks a bit like the non-Jack Black half of Tenacious D. The joke's on her though. I found a way hotter chick that is smart and doesn't even LIKE vampires. She also got me to join a gym so I don't need this treadmill anymore. Come buy this painful reminder of my broken marriage and cart it away so I can be whole again. This treadmill has been barely used and runs great. Also it has that built-in TV. If you promise me you won't watch Twilight on it while you work out, I'll even help load it into your truck/van/whatever with you."

I check CL every morning. Somehow, I never saw this ad that posted at 5:58am. As a result, I am second in line and hoping that #1 does not show.

I saw it this morning but was at work, so had to e-mail instead of call (around 8:00 am). I haven't heard back and it's no longer listed. When I saw the ad this morning it said 15-50 pounds, so I e-mailed asking if it was the U-50 or the U-90 version and I never heard back. If it would have originally said 15-90 lbs then I would have shut my office door and made the call.

Lister was a real stand-up guy. Told me that I was #2 in line and that he had an appointment time with buyer #1 forthcoming.

I did call back...buyer #1 bought them and drove over an hour to get them. I was 20 minutes away.

I would have had two sets of 90lb Blocks. I would have kept this set listed today and sold my older ones.

What pisses me off is that I know that I checked cl this morning at 630. The ad showed a time of 558am. wtf?

Yeah, I've seen delays as well.

Sucks on the timing FCC.

I expect you to buy them and give us a full report.

Then you can start a Uddeholm crew

[Vermonter]

Wow, regardless that is 470 pounds and two racks for $100.

Looks like they say that they are made in Sweden?

It is tempting just for the flip. I would clean them up maybe repaint and touch up the lettering. It would probably be easy to get .50/lb for them. They are all the same size which makes me wonder if they are bumpers as well. I'll probably pass on them though. They are a 2 hour drive away from me.

They do look like bumpers. Would be an easy flip. Two hours is a bit much.

Stuff that seems hard to comeby on CL. Fair prices but the guy is super nice and seems negotiable with packaging.

Managed to win a bench on ebay for cheap and the seller refunded the payment without notice due to what I'm assuming was too low of a price... And now paypal placed a temporary hold on my funds... Back to craigslist checking.

Lol, dude just responded back saying the bench was stolen and unavailable. I don't know if I should leave negative feedback seeing as he has my address...

Same happened to me with a bench and a weight set. Dude printed the printing label and then refunded without a word of why. Kind of neutral about it, got the money back and I know he did it because he would have taken a lost on the shipping. Why did Paypal place a hold on your funds?

That's standard I think with paypal, there is always a hold for returned funds.

They just reversed my cc charge on my return. I know when someone file a complaints they're automatic hold. Just curious.

you used a cc on that one right? If you have funds in a pp account and it gets reversed it's usually a hold for a couple days.

Hey guys,

I've been away from this site for a few months now but am getting back into the flow of things. Some things popped up on my CL, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick price guide for the following:

-Hampton Deep Dish plates ($/lb?)
-Hoist plate-loaded seated calf raise ($?)

Thanks!

[GRAYPANTHER]

Interesting I just got 800 pounds of weights for 350. Not the greatest but i did get 4 45 Lb Hampton deep dish plates and 2 100 Lb Hampton deep dish plates along with some nautilus and standard brand plates.

Does that sound like a good deal?
