The semi-official KIJIJI thread(for us canadians)

[Accutron]

FYI, by coincidence I was talking to Rick a few days ago and Edge is releasing a 2x2 customizable rack next week which I believe starts at $499.

The R3 doesn't have exactly what I want either, It's nice. I just wrote a review of it on the CrossFit boards.

Great news thanks for letting me know Im definitely interested in that. I like the 2x2 because it should a cheap option in todays economy, sturdy and simple to make once you have the jigs and set-up.

I will check out your CrossFit review. But if you do proper CF review you need to to cover yourself in chalk, take your shirt off, and swing around like wild on the pull-up bar. And bring 4 cameras because those guys like to take pics of every workout, hahah. (Just joking bro, Im not really into CrossFit.)

I will tell Rick that you gave me the heads-up. Have a good weekend.

Before I wrote the review I made sure I was in compression gear and wearing a some bright coloured Oly shoes that matched my Again Faster beanie. I had my "For a good time call Fran 21-15-9" shirt on and had full a grass fed Paleo breakfast. I worked out for 3.2 minutes and started typing. The first comment I got on the review was for pictures. I only had a iphone and bad lighting.

I can help you get a rack over the border very cheap. It's pretty simple these days.

.. not sure about a custom job there would be little resale I am thinking but if its built right why would u ever need to resell it. Are you actually going to see something else he has built before you go that route? The elitefts build your own rack is nice too but after all the options that the collegiate has your paying close to it.. Not sure what i want but i get nailed all the time with broker fees and crap.

Very true on resale and maybe pride of ownership. But youre also paying a lot more, a basic 2x2 on the EFTS site is like 989USD shipped, so to Canada thats about 1200 shipped at least, then they charge your for brokerage and taxes, etc.

With band-pegs top bottom, dip bars, monkey bar, and plate storage you are right, its close to the collegiate and it gets out of hand quickly money-wise...

Thanks bro really appreciate that, will let you know.

His X1 doesn't have a rear crossmember...that's an error on his drawing.

Listen, GI, if you want to give me a hand getting a sweet ass rack for a good price I'm all ears. You seem know the places to go. Honest to god, I'd just love a Louie Simmons combo rack from legend but the shipping to Canada is killer.

Please PM me if you are willing to help me out.

That was the best deal I found too, it has the plate storage and nice pull-up bar etc.

[Vmango]

If Edge can do me a Louie Simmons replica or a replica of another killer rack for a decent price I'd be more than happy to make the drive. Perhaps I will call Rick. There should not be duty as it is made in the U.S. but we'd have to pay HST bringing it across the border. No problem if he can fabricate a rack for cheap. If I do a custom here I'm paying duty either way.

I'm selling a basic bench press made by Impex if anyone is interested.

[ChrisLifter]

Fyi...came across a decent squat rack that came up today. I can't post the link but the ad is titled: "Rogue S3 Squat Stand with all add-ons"

Was thinking about jumping on it myself but decided to hold off.

That's my ad! I posted it on kijiji because I use it for a pullup rack than a squat rack. I thought I'd get use out of it, but I never did unfortunately. I'm willing to negotiate a price if you'd like, you can see pictures of it on my thread that I created in which I ask which ghd to purchase. I also put an Ironmaster Super Bench up there on kijiji. Haven't got many replies for neither unfortunately.

Do you have anything else for sale? Plates?

I still need the plates.

Did anyone see this? I think tuff stuff is supposed to be quite solid and that price is pretty sweet by our Canadian standards. I'm good but is anyone out there hunting for a last minute Christmas power rack?

I'd avoid buying anything from that guy. He's been trolling kijiji and craigslist for a while now. He usually buys up all the decent deals on those sites and just resells them much higher. Also his prices are pretty mediocre. The guy was selling a used 300 lb Olympic set with a weight tree for $350. That can be had for brand new for less than $300.

While that deal isn't terrible for Canada, it is not spectacular. My old rack was similar and I was able to score it and a 300lb set for $300.

It depends on your patience, though, and if you can find a better rack for less.

Saw those too, i figured that the first was just a stock pick of Ivanko's to get you emailing about all the yorks he has in. Could be wrong i did not bother as i just scored 620pds of revolvers a few days ago. There were rubber ones near toronto as well but the ad is down now. Although he emailed me this afternoon asking if i wanted any.. They look to be in decent shape OM plates are probably still my favorite because i have yet to use these revolvers..

I drive down to Toronto from up north just to buy plates and do whatever else when i am there.. but mostly for Ivanko's... need to see how much i have now and call it quits.. I want to get a newer commercial leg press then sell my old one then maybe switch my york pro styles to Ivanko dumbbells if i can ever find a newer set in Ontario area. I was going to pick up a couple commercial dumbbell racks when i was there but the guy could not meet me on Sunday only Monday morning and we all know how bad rush hour traffic is in Toronto.

i don't mind driving to hamilton/toronto, but kingston would be a 3 1/2 hour one way tour, night as well drive 4 1/2 more and scoop up all those damn ottawa deals lol

Those plates aren't a bad deal, but considering they seem like somewhat of a random lot, 900lbs @ $.69 + tax (assuming this is a legit business) is $700. So its really $.78/lb.

For a few bucks more you could probably buy 3 new 300lb York oly sets locally. This would be 765lb in plates + 3 bars, but at least its all new and matches. I'd sell off the bars for $60/each and you would end up paying under $600 for all of the plates. That works out to about $.77/lb after tax, or $.68 before tax. Just a thought.

[michaelstone]

True, i was going to try and barter, totally missed the "prices are firm" part. All I really need right now are 2 1/2's and 5's anyways because I have none, so probably good thing I didn't spend money on extra weight when I need those and a proper f/i/d/ bench more.

[Lostspacer]

10x45pd Ivanko Rubo plates near Toronto just went up. Asking $335 for all of them.

Good luck for anyone that wants them

[GarageIron]

Good deal on a set of pro style DB's (1600lb up to 120's) for $800 near Burlington. If you don't buy them I will tomorrow.

I can't post a link as I found it on the kijiji app.
