Yea, the market here in Upstate NY is VERY dry.
2-3 hour drives in any direction are common when it comes to finding something to pick up.
There is a York GHD in my area for $450, but it seems to have bad reviews for it online (Rogue Website).

We had one of those in my high school weight room and I couldn't stand the thing. Never felt completely stable up top and the rolling pads limited the difficulty quite a bit since it was a balancing act to get your kneecaps anywhere near the top of the pad without wiping out.

On a side note are we allowed to post our own Craigslist sales on here? I'm offering up a lot of gear and figure it could use some more publicity.

Saw that when it was posted. I sold my pair of 25kg bumpers since I could not find any of the other sizes over the years.

No, but you'll probably get some PMs now.

That ad is suspiciously similar to other ads that have run showing the same map location. The old ads ran for a long time, too. I never got a response from the older ads. It is a very rural area, but not that far from civilization.

I've never understood how scammers on CL work. Do they just collect phone numbers or what?

^^^Might have caught and STD from that bench though....

Man I wan't this low row badly, but I'm broke as a joke. Would compliment my York pulldown nicely

there is a TK Star out there available - I thought you might be referring to that one but not in Ohio

I'm making due with my Powertec for now, but the range of motion sucks and I hate loading/unloading plates. Tip for all the newbz, ALWAYS keep your spare parts because you never know if they might come in handy. Made these wood blocks for my Powerblocks, and the flat pad was from an old Hammer Strength bench. My ghetto low row...

That looks great..I want to do something similar to use on my Inspire FT2 functional trainer..It has low pullies but sitting on the floor sucks..Was thinking on grabbing a cheap craigslist rowing machine and use the slides and seat frame assembly.

That is actually pretty neat. I'm thinking of making something similar for my Powertec, but raise the seat like 6-inches or so off the floor (maybe with a slight slant towards the pulley). Do you think that would help with the range of motion? I don't mind loading plates.... not loading that many plates for it to bother me yet

[urbanlifter]

Maybe, I might add something to the pad to bring it up a few inches. You can use the bench in a decline setting, but I like the mid-row feel better than pulling from a low row position. BTW, here is one for the new guys asking about good starter benches, good example of what to look for. Excellent find, after a nice paint job I'm sure this would make someone VERY happy.

Probably does but the Tri-State area is definitely special.

[Cleveland33]

I've seen posts of others mocking people for their "rusty junk" and the price they request when they were vintage plates

[WeakSauz]

Re: Craigslist war. Some people just have way too much time on their hands.

[magicmatt]

I don't know much about Ivanko plates but are these worth $2/lb? Guy has listed them price firm like 5 dozen times over the past 6 months or so.

Way high, in my opinion. Going with new OMs wouldn't cost much more.

[SomeIronBoy]

A new set cost $3lb+ new. Personally I think 1.50lb, unless they're in really good shape or rightly refurb, is very high. Is your market dry of higher quality plates?

Pretty overpriced. I'd want to stay in the $1/lb range or if I really wanted them maybe justify $1.25/lb.

Dumbbellbuddy has the same set including 1.25s new for $679 shipped

I was able to pick up my revolvers for .80/lb,
And I recall a huge lot of revolvers in the Boston area selling at a rate of .90/lb back in December (Page 16 of this thread)
So my call is that $2.00/lb is a bit high, but I'm not an expert by any means

EDIT - basically what has been said by others above.

I am in central Mass and I noticed that listing ..That is crazy..I find a lot of listings that seem drastically overpriced around here..Seems to have gotten worse over the last couple of years.

[irongrandpa]

The fact that they’re still available after six months answers your question. I agree with the others and wouldn’t pay over $1/lb for these. I sold about 600lbs of OM’s in the same condition as this listing for $1/lb. Revolvers will go for more.

[SomeIronBoy]

I forgot to check this website, and went with ironcompany's prices. Good Mention.
