great collection of vintage equipment coming for sale in chicago, condition looks great. Can't imagine there's many existing complete sets of those universal dumbbells out there. vintage york, ivanko chrome as well[/QUOTE]
Lots of cool stuff there from someone who clearly knew their equipment. Seller's refusal to post pricing is nearly always an indicator of obscenely high pricing though.

Dumbbells are 5k... Seller also didn't even read my message when I asked about pricing for other stuff. Everything is SUPER cool though
Quality setup, someone who takes that kind of care during selection for sure left behind a detailed pricing list for the family to not get robbed.

Powerblock Pro Rexan $50-100 (eBay) Mesa AZ.
[url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/234920427323?[/url]
Crazy deal if any of you guys are in Arizona.
Doesn't get much better than that, even using the buy now option $100 is a steal! Think the cheapest set of ProRexans I've bought was $200.
Wish it was nearby me. I could use a 2nd set of adj. DBs. Just finished a session where I had to dial my Hoist/Ironmaster DBs all the way down to 10 lbs., then back up to 35 lbs. *spin* *spin* *spin* <remove plates> *spin* *spin* *spin* *spin* *spin* <tighten> <do sets> *spin* *spin* *spin* *spin* *spin* <add plates> ($%~@#~ not far enough) *spin* *spin* *spin* <finish adding plates> *spin* *spin* *spin* <tighten> [img]https://www.LinxNet.com/misc/smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Don't forget the plate math, I didn't realize how lazy I was until I tried switching back to IM's LOL.

I made a chart: [url]https://www.linxnet.com/misc/images/Fitness/Hoist_DB_Weight_Tbl.pdf[/url]
Pinned it to the wall. Problem solved :)

Yeah it is helpful to have a handful of lighter weight cheap hexes on hand just for warmup sets when you have the IM for the main event.

Recent FB Marketplace advert for a Rogue Echo Bike. Guy's asking $800 and I'm thinkin' "They're $850 brand new and $600 factory refurbished. WTH?" Take a closer look. Ok, it's got the wind guard and phone holder, but, still... Then I read the description "This bike is practically brand new. It was an impulse buy by the wife. It was purchased brand new from Rogue and it was probably used two times." [img]https://www.LinxNet.com/misc/smilies/lol.gif[/img]

This is epic. Like a FML appeal. Normally without decent margin I'd just buy new but if it didn't put me out (major drive/logistics etc...) I'd heavily consider bailing this guy out.

Were it up to me, solely, I might be inclined. It's certainly close enough to me. But, the Family CFO would balk. Besides: I already have a C2 rower. I don't know whether I'll keep both, for variety, or decide to shed one of the two. If I decide on the latter course I'd prefer not to be too far out-of-pocket, and the going rate for these, used, is more around $500-$650.
C2 rowers maintain their value very well. I paid $800 for mine, it had almost no kilometers on it, and looks essentially brand-new. I should be able to move that for what I paid for it. I kinda sorta need to be in more-or-less the same place with the Rogue Echo if I'm going to maintain peace in the household ;)
He'll get no bailout from me. I'll take that for tree fiddy so I can flip for profit LOL. The only "Cardio" I'm willing to do is sled pushing on the street, most efficient way to get it done IMO. Rowers, bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills are wasted on me.
