Good pick dumbbell, Really nice!

[Stasher1]

I'm always in the market for trading iron weights for Porsche's.

I have a disassembled vintage VW in my garage...it's kinda like a Porsche...

[Synthetickiller]

So is this a new trend, started by dumb.bell?

We all must post pictures of our pick ups next to our cars.

[matrix563]

11 miles away, got it for $10

188 pounds standard plates
nice 6 and 7 foot bar
2 sets dumbbell handles
really thick grip wrist roller
ab wheel (hahhaha)
manta ray squat pad

the silver bar has some weird double lock collars. i'll post a close up.



they had a body solid rack, trap bar, olympic bar, bench weights etc for 100 but i saw it too late. still the second consolation prize isn't too bad for flip .

[Accutron]

Thats a good score bro to flip. Do you make out decent doing this, do you like to collect equipment or do you mostly buy to flip?

hoping to resell for 120-140. thats not bad for $10 investment lol. i do keep some of the stuff i collect. mostly olympic plates that match what i have now. i did keep that nebula bench from stuff i flipped and made 100 and still kept the bench for free .

[dumb.bell]

I forgot to give the prices I got them for in the original post.

$150 for the seated calf
$125 for the preacher curl

Based on a tip from BigOrange, I picked these up today. They are like new pieces that someone had in their home gym.

[matrix563]

not bad dumbbell. my bm preacher is the same but there was a lil rust towards the bottom. pad is in good shape. overall its decent. i paid 100.

some close up photos of what i got today:


sorry its hard to see the knurl the photo came out blurry. its an ironmind.


the nice 7 foot bar i will trade to my friend for his spinlock one lol. the sleeves are ridged and the knurling feels great.
i need to clean out my car haha lol


the neat collar



i'll keep the ironmind, trade the 7 foot bar and collars for my friend's crappy bar to resell with the plates and the rest .

probably keep the 1 1/4 pound plates to use on various things that are standard but to make it easier to use the olympic plates with.

[AttyGuy]

I really feel like I bought something today. . .

[59phinz]

My Texas Power Bar shipped today, and is scheduled to arrive next Thursday. I'm crazy excited to receive it, but a little tiny bit worried too, as I haven't actually used a Buddy Capps bar before (I know, everyone agrees it's awesome, but it's a big purchase sight-unseen).

No photos of the TPB, but here is my purchase from the Rogue yard sale on 4/5:



Landmine, wide grip and narrow grip attachments, and a Rogue loading pin. $40 for all four!

[DamonB82]

Star Trac Decline Bench $250

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/hab/4412346625.html
Picked this up for $175

The Iron mind wrist roller is sweet. I have wanted one for a while.

[RestoringTally]

Picked up 3 pairs of York dumbbells - 30, 35, and 45, and an old-style 50 hex db pair.

I know the forum standard is .20 per pound. I tried, I really tried to get him down. But I still overpaid for these bells at .34 per lb.



I have no idea what brand the 50 lb hex dumbbell is. The bells are flatter than my other China-made hex DBs.

[Ej63090]

Here's a snapshot of my pickup for today.

4x45 Olympic plates
2x35
2x25
2x10
4x5
2x2.5 (345 lbs total)
2 sets of collars
Olympic plate tree
Olympic bar
Parabody flat bench
Old style bench with rack & preacher attachment
Squat stands
4 pairs standard dumbell handles
1 standard curl bar
190 no name standard plates
1 York 25lb standard plate(supposedly 3 more coming)

Nothing is in great shape but only spent 125 on the lot. I think I got a good deal.

LoL.... this will not end well for me... I've never been much of a car guy, so I usually buy used and run them until the doors fall off..... my car and truck have a total of 29 years of road experience between them.... and not a pretty 29 years! I believe I'll just stick to the equipment!


Nice porshe though.

[AttyGuy]

Old style bench with rack & preacher attachment

I picked up a rack very similar to this one a few weeks ago with some York and Hofmann Industries plates and an HI power bar. It is very sturdy and was made by Decathlon Fitness, Inc, out of St. Paul, MN.

How can you tell it's a Porsche?

man its retardedly expensive, like my telegraph key was

no loading pin though, it must be something bought separate or they stopped selling with it. i'm keeping it but i'll bring to let you try it out if you like

What would you pay for the bench? I plan on reselling it?

I'm flipping mine for $75 to $100. Probably $75 because I've already gotten my money out of the deal.

Speaking of cars . . .

A couple of weeks ago as I was pulling out of my neighborhood onto the road that runs behind my house and I passed a Mclaren 12c. In virtually the same spot today, in order, I passed a black Lamborghini Aventador, multi colored Bugatti Veyron, and a burnt orange Lamborghini Aventador. I've seen the two Aventadors previously, but that is my first sighting of the Bugatti.

Not bad. I'll probably flip that for $75 and can probably flip the squat stands for at least $50. The other bench I got can probably be flipped for $50 bucks and the Olympic bar can go $25 easy, $50 if I take the rust off it.

[obey46]

Pro Rexan #3. Got a single #10lb york single grip plate to go w/ it too.

[ubernoob]

Updated my collars.

Grabbed this on Friday from Northernmoris. Heard nothing but rave reviews about this bench so I'm pretty excited, it's been great for the limited use I've put it through already.

[OSUDimond]

It's gym buying season again!!! Picked up a nice chunk of a gym from downtown Columbus today. Some not so awesome stuff but also some cool stuff I plan to keep. I just locked down a high school in Northern Ohio with a bunch of HS pieces so I am going to be real busy shortly and I love it. Most of this stuff is a little bit older but I wont have any trouble moving it. Time to drink some caffeine and start listing on craigs.

Body Masters Smith


Cybex Leg Press (Considering keeping but can't decide if I would want to replace my red Hammer Strength Leg Press or not)


A few adjustable cybex benches


Magnum Multi Stack


Body Masters Hack squat that I am moving into the gym


Magnum Decline


Nearly mint heavy Troy db's


Really good shape old school York Bumpers. I have the ones just like these labeled 45 lb but haven't seen these ones before. Barely used.



Some other random stuff and Cyclone recumbent and upright bikes, Precor Steppers, body masters incline bench,old school flat and incline benches, dumbbell rack, and some badass reebok body mills haha.

[Daemonium]

^Damn Osu, wicked pick up. I'm guessing pricey though..all of that equipment looks like its in really good condition

I don't buy stuff if it's pricey. With the cost of movers and my time invested in selling it I have to buy for cheap. It's older but in nice shape.
