[QUOTE=grafskates;1544317531]Looking for a little advice on what to sell my hack machine for. It's a Bodysolid and I believe I paid around $900 several years ago.
What would be a fair price I should list this at?
Thx for any help.[/QUOTE]
Should be able to get $500 for it. It is a leg press/hack squat. Advertise as a leg press. I paid $275 for one for my daughters.
[QUOTE=Bignick31985;1544343691]I've had a bad run with CL lately. Other than the Olympic free weights, which sold in days, nothing is really selling. I've been trying to flip the Ironmaster Super Bench with all accessories and can't get a bite, lol. I'd take less than asking by far, but aimed perhaps too high to start off.[/QUOTE]
I've been having better luck with Facebook Market for the past few months. It's kind of a mess and annoying, but it's been a lot more effective than CL.

SUPER annoying. There shouldn't be a giant button "Ask About Availability". It's freakin' listed...it's available. There seems to be way more action on FB marketplace, but so many messages with "is this available?" I'll say yes and they'll never write back.

and yet I messaged a guy over the weekend about something that had sold a few weeks ago

CL is garbage lately. Nothing but scammers on both ends just trying to harvest phone numbers. If your neighborhood has a nextdoor page, you might have good luck there.

The "I'm interested" button is worse. I get a lot of those "I am interested in this item" messages. I need a response button that sends "Good for you bud, what the hell do you want to do about it?"

I cannot stand Facebook Market, although I cannot stop looking.
Posts are not sorted by date. People do not remove ads when they sell items. And the FB search feature is flakey. But I did find a pair of Powerblocks at a good price.
Got a hit on the IM bench, but no response since, lol. Did find Revolvers, unrestored/original finish for $1/lb, just a pair of 45s. Gonna pick them up Saturday...that'll make 6x45, 4x25, 4x10, 2x2.5 and 2x1.25lb. Still on the hunt for a pair of 35s though.

shame you're not looking for OMEZS...i've got two pairs of 35s that I can't seem to move...
Those are the ones with slots, correct? I guess people hate 35s ,lol. But I just want a complete set, eventually finding OM 5lbers for less than like $50.
I wouldn't mind having those with slots cuz they look cool too lol. And seem even harder to find than Revolvers.
PM with any $$$ info, I would consider them.

Ha. Pretty much my same response...I usually go with "Interested enough to buy it?"
Oddly there are 2 Crepinsek bars on the MN craigslist right now.

If it wasn't currently a blizzard, I'd probably try and nab the first one. It must be getting close to resolutioner dump-off/clean out the garage time, too; I'm starting to see more deals on gym equipment pop up again.
Im from Canton, Ohio.. If anyone can find me some York, Ivanko, or any other higher end plates/olympic bar it would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to drive up to 3 or so hours for a decent deal. Thanks

Are you not finding any deals near you? I feel that Boston is pretty good for used market! I know several people that have done very well..

Way to be proactive!
I've found really good deals on Revolvers, IM dumbells, bench etc. I just havent seen a SSB for sale which bot a friend and I have been looking for.
I actually just got a great deal last night, Powerblock Urethane 90s, Kettle 40, Kettle 20 with stands for 150.

SSB is not a common item to show up around these parts. You are probably better off just buying that when a good sale appears. That being said, I did get a eliteFTS SSB brand new for 230 on RI craigslist :)

Wow, great deal!
Cybex cage in Phoenix for $500

I have this rack...my two complaints are the j hooks...they're metal...they dont have that nice thick plastic that protects your bar. Not a huge issue tbh...
The bigger issue is the rack is too wide. Theres only around 2" on each side of the bar when you go to re rack. Benching isnt too difficult but doing squats and trying to rack can sometimes be a pain. Also...when you squat and step back...unless you step directly back and keep the bar centered...the freakin weight plates hit the sides of the rack...again...its too damn wide.
I will say its built like a tank though. The up/down hole spacing doesnt bother me. At $500...not so sure...may as well just get a titan rack.

You need to work on your Craig's List skills. I live in Tennessee and every summer I pass through Columbus and Cleveland on my way to Western NY. I start checking CL about 2 weeks before I leave on my trip. I find that area fertile with good deals and lots of equipment for sale.
Last summer I picked up a York bar in Columbus and York dumbbells and some kettlebells south of Cleveland. I wasn't looking for plates, but I remember seeing York for sale.
thanks for the advice tally and i guess that i didn't specify but i meant to ask if there were other sites i can look at besides craigslist that guys specifically sell this kind of stuff...

For about $30 plus some 3M outdoor mounting tape I had lying around I lined all 6 of my j-hooks and the safeties.

Should have done it years ago. Protection aside, it's just nicer to use now.

Try Facebook Marketplace and apps like Offerup or Letgo. Also check other categories in your Craigslist search like Health & Beauty or whatever. Good luck.

I agree, and as far as purchasing UHMW goes, it can also be bought on ebay, which is easier than McMaster.
Wish I was in VA.
