Anyone in NM??

Found this seller though ebay. There are many pages of stuff to browse through. Look very closely at some of the rusting plates outside! They are the very old unbranded Ivanko plates. Too far away for me to think about but someone close should pick up some of this stuff,

Ivanko DBs
Is it common for Ivanko DBs to not have the end caps with the Ivanko name and weight? I found a set available but they do not have an end cap, just the bolt. So I am trying to find out if they are really Ivanko DBs. Are there any other markings one can check? Sorry, I do not have any pics.

That was a mouth full.
It does look like a nice app, however, and since you provide a free version I don't see the harm in making a post about it.
It isn't a craigslist ad, however, and it is likely to get lost in a sea of posts within hours, but nonetheless thanks for sharing.()---() York Barbell Club #5 ()---()

Older York plates in the Atlanta area: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/hab/3356605624.html
I snagged the bar, but the seller is pretty motivated to get rid of the rest of this stuff."What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This. They can be harder to find, so they typically cost a little more.
Can anybody identify this bar?

It is all one unit, and the seller has 5 available and will give one free to whoever wants all of them.
I like the design. It seems like this and an Iron Master super bench would be a decent combo.
It may not be super hardcore sturdy, but looks adequate for someone who has limited space and doesn't want a full rack.()---() York Barbell Club #5 ()---()

This was my understanding as well. There are a great number of people who don't work out, or are new to working out, who see the Gold's Gym name as being synonymous with quality equipment and hardcore lifting. I wouldn't let a seller's lack of knowledge prevent me from going to look at what might actually be a decent bar.Last edited by Stasher1; 11-16-2012 at 11:44 AM.

Saw this ad andcontacted the seller. He will sell the set for $175 and said he would throw in a weight tree and approx. 100-200 lbs of free weight plates... I'm going to try to split up each item and make a bit of $$
I was going to re-list as:
PB: $150
Body Solid Bench: $100
Weight tree with weights at 0.50 a pound and $15 for the tree: between $100-170 depending on poundage
Think thats doable??[]---[] Ivanko Barbell Crew #25 []---[]
