[QUOTE=pbk3jg0;1534881511]Wouldn't a cracked handle like this be dangerous for powerblocks?[/QUOTE]
Yes. I wouldn't consider one with a cracked handle no matter the price. Cracked selector pins can be replaced (~$20) but I don't know if they would have this style still available to replace.

[QUOTE=dskoo65;1534845721]that handle appears to be cracked on the upper right(????). those are the old pro rexan PB's, and the issue with them is finding any add on kit is difficult. You may find someone selling an add on kit ON CL or ebay, but that is rare. I actually think the old pro sets had less rattling/sloppiness than the later elite and pro sets, but if there is a crack in the handle I just couldnt see buying them at all.[/QUOTE]
I'll ask him, I can't see a crack on the handle. If there is I'm not buying it. I emailed PB support the selector pins for this model cost $15, don't think that includes shipping charges. I do see yellow discoloration on the top right side on the first dumbbell on the white part. I wonder if he took the photo from the ground for a reason.

[QUOTE=BulkMore;1534847751]These go on sale from time to time on amazon for $150. If I was the seller I would be more than happy to accept $150 from you. They're only losing tax on $150 for this deal.[/QUOTE]
I'm starting to think these would only be worth $75-100 with only a cracked selector pin. I think I should keep looking, I have a feeling he won't go that low. I'm not sure when PB's came out but I don't think they are real old. I seen a bunch of forum posters buying PB's in 2009-2011 for $100 and some bought even less. A couple guys got the stand, benches, etc bundled that would make the PB come out to like $50. So if PBs came out around 2008 it sounds like these posters were getting them barely used for cheaper than I can get a real old set.

powerblocks have been around WAY longer than that. I bought a pair back in 1996. Those Pro Rexans were the first models that went up to around 90 lbs, so I think they could easily be 15+ yrs old.

Damn that old, I'm surprised I haven't seen PBs in the past. I didn't care about fitness until like 6 yrs ago though so maybe I seen them and didn't remember. An 15+ yr old dumbbell is not worth $175 or $150. I'm going to continue looking.

50lb Pro-Rexan with no ability to get an add-on kit, cracked handle, beat up selector pin? I have sold 45lb/50lb Classic and Elite sets for $150-$175 in excellent condition. I wouldn't pay much for those, JB Weld would likely fix the handle issue easily but I'm not anywhere near even $100 for those PB's. FWIW, coming from a Powerblock fiend....

The [url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000520025457/http://www.powerblock.com]Wayback Machine[/url] shows the 85 lb Pro Rexan PBs were available in 2000 for $548. The Wayback Machine entries for the PB site earlier than 2000 are sketchy and I could not confirm when they were first introduced. I looked it up when I bought my Pro Rexan 85s.
But the handle in the picture is slightly different than the handle on my Pro Rexans. If the pictured PBs are Pro Rexans, they are the 5 to 45 lbs set. There are 4 weight plates. Each handle has a pair of 2.5 lb adder weights. See [url]https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=159354151[/url]
The picture shows a smudge in the circle. At first glance it looked like that side of the handle was broke. But the edges of the plastic plate look correct. The near corner matches the far corner by protruding in and there is an outer lip on both sides of the handle. I think the smudge is creating an optical illusion of a massive crack in the handle's end plate.

I have a pair of Pro Aluminum 90 lb PBs that I got from the original buyer, who got them in 1995. I bought replacement pins from PB and they are as good as new. I use them every week for my DB workout.
I also have a pair of Pro Lexan 85 lb PBs that are probably only 10 to 15 years old. They are as good as new and they are used frequently.
Good equipment, well maintained, lasts a long time. I have some York Buns and Globes dumbbells that are probably as old as me, if not older. Some of them seem to be in better shape than I am. :D

Sounds like you have no problem with old products, what would you offer for the ones in the picture? Nah, you're in better shape than me, I have too many health issues for a 25yr old. Its almost like I am a 65yr old in a 25yr olds body. Eating unhealthy and not working out on a consistent basis doesn't help me.

For me, equipment is about functionality, not esthetics.
You already offered him $150 for a pair of 50 lb dumbbells. If those are Pro Rexans, they only weigh 45 lbs. So they are worth less than he thought. If the only thing that is broken is the selector pin, you could reasonably subtract the replacement part cost.
So what is the worth of a pair of 45 lb PowerBlocks that need replacement pins? Only you can decide that. Do you want them now enough to pay the price or are you willing to wait until a better deal comes along?
To put it in perspective, there is a pair of 45 lb Hoist/IronMaster dumbbells [I]with stand[/I] for sale near me. Those dumbbells are comparable to PBs. They want $75. If I had a need, I might consider buying them. Although, I would not pay more than that for a pair.

Is this Hampton adjustable dumbbell set worth $100?? On ironcompanydotcom, they are selling just the handles for 75 a pair...
And if I should pick them up does anyone know how much weight I could load these up with, Id love some quality adjustables that can go up to 85s

i had those once. my recollection was 3 x 10 lb plates to a side on the 14 inch version, which it appears those are. seemed like a 4th left very little thread. depend on the thickness of those plates. looks like around 150 lbs weight plates with the handles. at a fair $0.50 per pound that $75 just for the weight. if i wanted some cheap adjustables id say its a fair price. those hampton handles are far and away the best spinlock handles ive ever used...the screwlocks are easy to turn and lock up better than most spinlocks.

I think I'm going to go see them and see how much weight i can fit, if they cant fit 4 plates a side I'll offer low because i already have adjustables with enough pancakes to get to 65 lbs but they can fit 1 more plate each side and i could get to 85, so im in no need for them but they do look like a really good quality set
Is that rubber lining on the outside? just wandering if that helps much when dropping the weights from like dumbbell presses

There is not a pic of the 45, but it appears to be a newer plater, 90s or newer, since the lettering matches the smaller plates of that era. Check the google doc
