Ffffffffuuuuiuuuu- gone.

They went to a very good home. Not mine, but they will be well cared for.

[bas0912]

pictures?

here some pics of them. Just used the dumbbells not to long ago and have to say Im pretty pleased with them. They are very stable and easy to change the weights. Thanks dumb.bell for steering me away from those bowflex dumbbells a week ago I can tell that easy are alot better quality. The bench isin't that bad either its stable, folds up, and has a carrying strap so you can transport it easily. Its also only 15 inches tall so I might start doing some box squats with it.

Anything special?

[IvankoBarbellCo]

Does this look like an old school Ivanko? This the best pics I can get and can't really get any measurements.

Just from the pics, doesn’t look like.

I'm working on building a home gym. I live in a second floor apartment, so I am looking for something that would be quite and allow for a wide variation in lift options. This has lead me to look for bumper plates on craigslist.

The only draw back is that I have no idea what the resale value on them are. Any input would be greatly appreciated.This is what I'm looking at:

It's super nice, but the $2,600 asking price is just about exactly current MSRP +shipping for the DarkHorse with custom color and all accessories. I doubt they'll find a buyer at that price, but maybe the OBO will turn into a great deal for someone.

Competition Kettlebells - $400 (Chattanooga)
I have 4 MDUSA (muscle driver) kettlebells (16,20,24 and 32kg) for sale. Great condition, save a ton on shipping.

That ad has been around for while. It keeps coming up. He is not getting any takers.

New price from MDUSA for those kettlebells is $345. He is selling used kettlebells for a premium. But you save on shipping. Considering MDUSA is only about 4 hours away from me, I could buy new and pay for the gas to pick 'em up and still come out ahead of his "deal."

I would think bumper plates would be a worse idea. I'd pass on bumper plates if you live on the second floor.

Cybex multiple-hip, Dayton, OH $800

Nothing I'm looking for, but not a machine I see too often on CL.

Thanks for the comment. Do you mind explaining your thoughts on why you think they may be a worse idea? I was thinking that it would be quieter to deadlift with bumpers than regular plates.

Another thing I should probably bring up is that I'll be moving in a year to a place better for lifting. I'd rather make an investment now instead of having to buy bumpers next year in addition to regular plates now.

Same applies to deadlifting. Buy a stall mat and/or make a cheap 4x8 platform to deadlift on.

If you're set on bumper plates, search iron mike in the inland empire cl. He sells new bumper plates for about a 1-1.20/lb new. I'm actually driving up tomorrow from SD. He's just 15 mins north of Temecula. Some guys just buy a pair or two of 45's then use iron weights for the smaller plates.

Bumper plates (or rubber/urethane coated) are only going to eliminate the sound of plates clanking together. They're not going to help with the sound of a few hundred pounds hitting the floor during deadlifting or the sound of a loaded bar being racked after bench presses/ squats.

Yeah, the shipping savings is what intrigues me. Might offer 3 and see what they counter at.

what's the bar weigh? My 2 year daughter is about ready for a woman's training bar I thjink.

[BIgOrange865]

I think maybe 2-3 lbs. ours is the plastic version of this. I believe this one is foam ?

Not my listing btw

[Ej63090]

http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/spo/4403275556.html

You think grabbing all this stuff for a grand is worth it? I'd end up re listing the Smith machine but the bench bar and plates would definitely be worth keeping.

[Anthony21]

Comes out to .96/lb which I think is way too much.

doesn't a dry market add to the value?

Just like a typical craigslist buyer to assume the bar is free. Offer $200. You'll want to check the backs of the plates before you buy. They're 2nd grade economy plates and the casting varies from gorgeous to ugly. Most of the casting defects are on the backs of the plates.

Edit: I should add that it's more likely that the casting quality will be good than bad. But you should check. I usually hand pick them when I buy them so that I only buy the ones with gorgeous casting --they can be very nice plates. Beside the different color, the O2B are pretty much indistinguishable from O plates (not machined OM). For some reason, most of the plates that had bad casting were 10s or 25s. Some had large voids in the back. I found a whole stack of 10s like that and some 25s as well.

Good to know. Picking some black Ivankos today and will check the back. I figured the powder coated silver Ivankos at CSM were 2nd grades, but wasn't sure.

[Ej63090]

If they were clean I'd pay that. I'm more used to seeing a standard brand set at that amount. Sometimes 150.

Passed on the plates, homeboy wasn't budging on the price.
