That's the black one from Rogue, comes standard with a PM3. No matter how dumb it is, people want the black ones more. The owner will laugh at 550-600. I think the seller could get $700-750 (more likely $750) in any part of the country.

Rogue was the first to offer the C2 in black and it was exclusive to Rogue, but since then C2 has started offering black as a no cost option.

That being said, I don't know why anyone would buy one from someone other than Rogue, as they have the best price and awesome customer service.

Rogue had a few returned C2s in damaged boxes at their yard sale, but I think they were still ~$800.

How much would you pay for the attached dumbbell rack? Seller says it about 90 in wide...

Think $200 would be a good deal. If i was in real need f it, would consider paying more.

$200 is way to much. I'd pay no more than $125 or so, maybe a little more. I don't care what brand it is but db racks don't have a big resale value.

[southpawbk]

Thank you both for the responses. I was thinking $100 since its been for sale for over a month. I'd like to paint it flat black. What's the best way to go about doing that?

Just picked up a bunch of rusted stuff for $20. Full set Weider intl Olympic set, 50lb dumbbells, and some collars. There were a couple of other things but was complete junk so I tossed em. I bought it mainly for the bar and dumbbells since my set is missing the 50s . I was hoping the bar would be salvageable but i don't think so. A lot of the smaller weights aren't in too bad of shape but the bigger ones are pretty much completely rusted over. Do you guys think these will clean up with some citric acid powder or something? Also anyone know if these collars are any good or what kind they are?

[rlundregan]

Those are spinlock collars. THey were part of that Weider International set. Nothing special.

As long as the rust hasn't actually eaten into the metal on the plates, you should just use a wire wheel on a power drill and scrape it off, then spray paint with the color of your choice.

I would not paint it. If the rack is powder coated expect any paint you apply to get scratched/knocked off when you bump it with your dumbbells. After some use you will see the white powder coat in spots. A previous owner painted my power rack black. The white powder coat is showing through in places where the bar has hit the uprights.

The powder coat needs to be prepped well to get another coat of paint to stick to it. For the amount of work required, I would not bother unless the rack really needs to be painted.

You probably just saved me a lot of time. Thank you!

Sand blasting is the way to go, it's pretty cheap to have done and is the only real way to get a professional finish.

Hey guys,

Going to check out a bench tonight... Asked for brand, the lady wasn't quite sure. I'm going to go look at it in person. Asking price is 55$.



Thoughts before I head over? Thanks in advance!

Looks like a run of the mill low end bench similar to marcy stuff or possibly even a marcy piece. http://www.sportsauthority.com/Marcy...id=body_rv_img

I'd skip it especially at your numbers for lifts. Keep your eye out for a used full commercial rated or "pro-sumer" level bench. I think you'll find it worth your while.

I have a hard time deciding which is worse, the bent sheet steel equipment with crazy holes everywhere (was the idea to look like aviation structural members, or was it to make the equipment lighter?), or the stupid GymBrah name. Guess it's no surprise that company no longer exists.

Awesome, thanks for the assessment. I'll skip on it then and keep my eyes open!

Pad gap looks way too big and looks like it's probably thin steel. Would pass.

$500. rack, bench, and 40-100 hex dumbbells. can this be for real?

7 ft half power rack with lever-action (adjustable to incline and military) bench manufactured by Power-Lift. Purchased about 8 years ago for $2,500. Commercial quality, grey and black with plate storage and dip attachment. Will throw in hex dumbells (40-100 pairs in 10 lb increments). Great space saver for serious lifter starting a garage gym.

That's sweet. I wonder if that's a stock photo like the other photos since it looks brand new rather than 8 years old. But assuming it's in decent condition, it's a super nice deal.

[aclockworkoi]

And it's gone. Someone got a good deal!

[Stasher1]

It'll probably show up again in a couple days for 2-3x what it sold for today.

I tried to pick that up earlier, but was too late. That pic is from the power-lift website, its not the actual rack.
