Everyone already told you in the other thread that is an unbelievable deal. But the Hammer Strength stuff is already sold.
[QUOTE=cwcmac;1536814141]I called about the Hammer Strength about an hour after it was up and he already had someone coming to pick it up this afternoon. Would have loved to have it but somehow it didn't come through in my CL automated e-mails and I was a little late on the call.
Crazy thing is he's selling other stuff and it is all reasonably priced or over priced but he's selling this bench cheap.[/QUOTE]
I called him last night and set everything up. Called him today, before I left, like I told him I would and told me someone picked it up but with a confusing story.........
That is the only adjustable HS bench I don't have that they make. Lol

Money talks and bullsh*t walks in the craigslist world. Whenever I sell something im lining up buyers until the item is moved...then ill send an email to everyone and tell them tough break. No hard feelings.

I'm not a flipper so I don't see the volume but that's a pretty ****ty approach. If you commit to someone, then sell it to them. The other people, tell them someone is in front of them and you'll let them know if it falls through.
I've been on both sides of that approach and it works just fine. The other side I've been on is that I had an agreed upon price and someone offered more. The seller contacted me and told me someone offered full price but I had an option at that price. I can live with that approach.

Cybex commercial grade adjustable bench $120[/QUOTE]
That Cybex bench looks real familiar.....probably cause that's my garage gym :D
I also have several other things for sale as well.
[QUOTE=cwcmac;1536826871]If you commit to someone, then sell it to them. .[/QUOTE]
I do not commit to selling to someone until they're actually on their way to me. For example, if someone calls me tonight and says they want to come and buy my item tomorrow, I'll tell them to email/call me back tomorrow when they are ready to get on the road to confirm the item is still available before they leave. If another person shows up to get it tonight, it's going to get sold. Once the first person says they're on the way I'll hold the item until they show or until it's obvious they're not coming, because I'm not a dick.
I've held enough things for people who say that they'll definitely buy it over email/phone, schedule a time, then never show, to know that I'll never do it for FREE again. I'm more than happy to hold with a nonrefundable cash deposit, be it money in my hand or money sent via Paypal (if someone's coming from a ways away).

I understand this, and it has happened to me countless times, items sold before guaranteed pick up, but it's his reasoning of how he sold it, that kind of annoyed me, if you're going to lie at least make it somewhat believable. I couldn't pick it up last night when I called him because it was already 9:30pm and it would be 10:30am the time I got there, and I had school in the morning, and was going to pick it up right after, in which he guaranteed it was mine.
[QUOTE=cwcmac;1536826961]The guy seemed a bit like a flake when I spoke to him last night[/QUOTE]
Yeah, he really tried to offer me other equipment. And was consistent with mentioning it when I talked to him. Lol
Benches I have to date in the basement are Reflex FI, Hammer Strength OHDADJ, Hammer Strength FWADJ, Cybex 5435, Icarian Super bench, Cybex 5437 (threw in my selling corner), and Life fitness FB31 (Same as the HS FWMAB). Like I said besides all the variations of the OHDADJ and FWMAB, I would've had all 3 different styled the Adj HS Benches, if i were to get that.

Top Three reasons to sell your Cybex 5435:
1) Joining a commercial gym, liquidating everything.
2) Moving to a new home don't want to transport, liquidating everything.
3) Financial distress, liquidating everything.
Coincidentally I have experienced two of the three and regret both instances....LOL

Might want to try that Hoist. There were members here who ditched theirs for the Hoist
[QUOTE=Anthony21;1536840701]Figured most people wouldn't pay more for it. What would you sell it for?[/QUOTE]
It's a commercial bench from a highly reputable company, I have seen those easily go for $250-$350 depending on the condition. Demand might differ depending on location, but I would clean it up better & get some pictures of that sexy side profile, and hype up it's reputation for being one of the most sought after commercial benches (no longer in production, ect.).
Or, just put it in the damn closet!!!!! bwhaha

FI or FID?
I hope this isn't off topic. I was wondering if any of you guys have made deals overseas for procuring the equipment. Since I live in India I was planning to import equipment from USA. What would you guys say?
I think he's talking about the older 2165 hoist, probably the best hoist bench they ever made. I personally have never tired it, but was/and probably still is praised here.
What's the Condition on it? Looks to be in very good condition from the pics I'm viewing on phone. CHECK if there's any within 100 miles of your area. If there isn't and it's in very good condition around $325-375.

I was thinking maybe this one, I know Keetman raved about it but ultimately sold it when he picked up the BEAST EliteFTS that matched his rack. Looks like an awesome bench, but beat Cybex's zero pad gap? Dunno bout that....

Easily worth $400. Someone will talk you down to $350-$375...you can then buy an ounce and be done with it.

Damn I can list it for that much huh? That's why I love you guys man, always making me feel clueless on the pricing lol.
I just relisted it for $400. Let's see if I get any buyers.

2165 is the best. (seen in the pic above) And still to high at 18 1/4" imo. I had one and sold it for a 5435. Which I then sold for a FWMAB. The 3165 is an inch higher, and has weird ergonomic pads.

The FWMAB is one of my top three most desired benches, can't fault that decision. Padding looks identical to the 2165 design, still a gap though ;)

That might be it - obviously it is all personal but knowing your affinity for benches I was shocked you never used the Hoist or the BodyMasters

You'll probably have luck with new equipment, but if you're talking about used equipment off of craigslist, I'll bet it will be really difficult to get people to buy your story thinking it's a scam.
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1536897471]That might be it - obviously it is all personal but knowing your affinity for benches I was shocked you never used the Hoist or the BodyMasters[/QUOTE]
The Hoist 2165 looks damn sexy and the Bodymasters looks just 'okay' design wise, but if all three were lined up for the same price I have a feeling I would still go home with the Cybex. The Hammer FWMAB or Nautilus 0-90 would be a harder decision. Something about that Nautilus has always made my knees weak, and the pad gap is placed at a point where you wouldn't ever feel it during flat bench.
Picking up this Icarian Decline Bench tomorrow for a decent price,
Will fit perfectly with my Icarian Super Bench.
The question I have is if anyone has recommendations as to where I can have the pads redone on both Icarian benches?
There was a thread years ago about someone on the forum who did good work with restorations, but not sure if they're still around..

If you like the Nautilus style with the giant seat then there's a Chinese import coming that you just might want to review... :)

Looks really nice, but I'm not trying to get myself killed by the wife just yet. haha
A buddy I'm training right now is likely going to buy my REP, and I'll probably invest that into a Titan flat with the hefty pad.

Yes! Str8out's thread was the one I remember seeing- I like the look of the work Mike does from the photos in that thread.
I'll have to check with him and see if I can send in the padding covers for replacements.
Thanks guys!

Yep. I would have contacted them this morning and driven over to pick it up if it was still available. As long as everything worked, I wouldn't even have haggled on price.
I figured it wouldn't last long, but I really had no interest in it....although I did consider it. Figured I would attempt to help someone here get a good deal.
Is a slightly used (like new?) Rep AB-3000 FID Adjustable Bench worth $100?
I already have the IronMaster Super Bench, the Atlas Heavy Duty (Barbells4Me) flat bench and the PowerTec Bench that came with the PowerTec Lever Gym. I don't need another bench, but was wondering if I can (& should) replace the Flat Bench with the Rep FID. The Rep AB-3000 is a bit bigger & heavier, but more versatile. Would I miss the flat bench?

#1: Yes, it's worth $100
#2: NO, I would not get rid of the Atlas bench just to have the REP AB-3000. You have a good combo between the IM and Atlas, REP is 'less than' both and would only really add the decline option.

That's what I thought, thanks for the reply.
I might still pickup the Rep bench just for fun and flip it on CL if & when I get bored with it.
American Barbell Gym Bar, (or maybe GPI) only appears to missing an endcap. I didn't have 2 power bars already, I'd pick it up for sure.
