I offered this guy $1000 a few days ago. He came back and said since he didn't really want to sell the stuff, he wouldn't take less than $2000. WTF? If you don't want to sell, why is it on Craigslist?

How much should I sell weights and dumbbells for?
I've tried to sell weights and dumbbells at 75 cents per pound, but I didn't get any bites in the last few days.
And how much should I sell a 5-85 powerblock set for?

The average CL price for used plates and dumbbells seems to be about $.50/lb, and that's what my local Play It Again Sports store charges as well. Prices for Powerblocks are all over the place though, so it really depends on your local market. I would guess somewhere in the $400 range.

I'm getting a little tax money back, and want to get a lat pulldown.


Which would be more worth my while?

This:
http://scranton.craigslist.org/spo/3530913156.html

This is a York, but is 100 bucks more and probably about 1 1/2 hour drive


or this:
http://reading.craigslist.org/spo/3623879848.html

Which is a TDS, but is 100 bucks less, and only about a half-hour drive?

Of those two, I'd take the York, no question.

The twin guide rod setup for the plate carrier should be smoother and less likely to bind than the square tubing of the TDS, and I like the location of the center vertical support of the York better than the TDS. There's a lot of stress on that area during use, so I'd want the center post to be roughly centered between the set and the weight stack to decrease the leverage on that upper joint. I'm having a hard time explaining myself right now, but look at the pics and you'll probably see what I'm talking about.

[robosphere]

Yeah...I should know better. I guess I was hoping for some sort of 'diamond in the rough' story about the TDS, since it was cheaper and closer. Thanks. I don't think I can rep you again yet.

[Kiluminati]

Seen this online while looking for a power rack and was wondering if I should grab it or not.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

that's cause 1K is like stealing that equipment. i think 1.5K is prob fair for the hardware. Would prob pay 300 for the plates, maybe 400-450 for the plates and bar. So i'd say 2K is reasonable, though if I was serious, I'd prob offer him 1700 for the package.

I think he means that if he can get $2000 for it, he'd sell it. If it's only worth $1000 to you, he'd rather keep using it and continue to look for a buyer that's willing to pay $2000. That's some nice stuff!

[jgood602]

I figure he was looking to sell not get raped or Maybe his wife wants it gone like mine and you just list it high so it wont sell but you can say your trying.

Hey guys,

a guy is offering a samson brand power rack for $500. first, is it a good rack? second, what's a fair price to offer if it is? he says it's around 9' tall.

Samson makes some heavyweight racks. Without pictures we can't tell about condition, size, and features. In reality, $500 seems like a fair price for a commercial rack. Visit their website and see how it compares to the current racks.

I've looked at their website samsonequipment.com and there's no pricing information. It's definitely an older rack, older than anything on their site. It looks sturdy and comes with j-hooks, safety bars. Thanks for the feedback. I'm just starting out, so I'm wondering if this is "too much" rack for me?

[ffrink]

there was one similar to this near me. they wanted more though.

that is a nice little machine for the price....

[stevedawg85]

Picking up a Weider 565 w/ cable system (+ handles) but no bench and weights for $100. Im meeting him shortly, this a good deal right!? I'm benching 150 and got a while to go before maxing out.

[scottofio]

On that samson rack, I've seen the craigslist add. The question is, can you lift on it...(Yes). It looks beat up, but we don't buy them to look pretty necessarily. I thing to think about, is will you want attachments later. On that rack you'd most likely have to get custom stuff. Make sure you measure your ceilings too, don't want to have to sell it b/c it won't fit in your lift space.

I saw it and considered it, but went with a new rack for $1000 from Sorinex.

If you can get the rack for $350-$400, ( which would be my target amount) you can use it and most likely make your money back when you decide to upgrade, but you may never need to step up if you are just using it for basic power rack stuff of squat , bench, etc.

If you are in the $500 range consider the new body solid shipped for $489 new that's being advertised on Craigslist/ebay.

[scottofio]

also if you feel like a road trip... did you see this promaxima over in houston?

//houston.craigslist.org/spo/3619953114 . h t m l

it's about half the price of the samson rack.

I considered this one, but 6 hours in time and gas just aren't worth it to me yet. then again, it's 2 hours there and back for the samson. there was a lamar one that i missed a week or two ago. thanks for your feedback! honestly, i just want something to be able to safely do the starting strength program.

Relax.
Welcome to the forum.

You can still post broken links, just remove the Http://www. (or whatever) and leave the rest. We'll figure it out if we give a crap.

The reason new accounts are not allowed to post links is obvious, to avoid spammers.

Thanks for playing.

This. And if he wouldn't have gotten sand in his panties I would have been more than happy to explain that to him AND he wouldn't have had to ask to be banned.
Everyone starts with one post...why would someone delete a post for that reason alone. That....would be stupid.
