At what price would a T-bar barbell shorty be worth picking up if in almost new condition? Seems like a more useful version of a curl bar. Comes with a pair of Hampton urethane easy grip 10s that I would resell for 20 or so.

I am assuming you mean this?

Depending on how much you are paying for it, a Super Curl bar might be a better investment, as it will give you a similar grip while potentially providing you with more options. A Super Curl bar differs from an EZ curl(most common) in that the bends in the bar are at much sharper angles. Again, this all depends on how much you are paying for it and what exactly you plan on doing with it. At any rate, I am curious to hear your review of the T-bar shorty if you buy it!

Yup, that is the one in the link. Seems to combine some features of a multi grip with some features of a curl bar.

Is a tuff stuff lat pulldown machine for $100 a good deal?
The guy is including the lat pulldown bar, a bar for tricep pushdowns, and a rope for tricep pushdowns. You can do curls and pulldowns on it but not low rows. It doesn't have a weight stack, its one where you put plates on it. From the pics it appears to be in pretty good condition but he said there is some rust that he'd clean off.

For 100 with accesorries it would be worth getting if you want/need one. Depending on your market, that style are often pretty inexpensive so it may behoove you to look for something better.
On the flip side; I've been patiently looking for a deal on a selectorized la/low row machines for quite some time. Had one I was supposed to pick up and the guy got confused and sold it to someone else because he thought it was me picking it up.
Is it one with square tubing or 2 individual guide rods? Either way yes it's a good deal, worst case you don't like it you can resell for what you paid or resell for a little more.

Not too bad of a deal, particularly with accessories. You will pay a significant part of $100 for two bars and a rope. So the machine cost a lot less than you think.
I kept upgrading my lat pulldown machines. My first one was a home gym. I got rid of it as soon as I found something better. I kept getting something better until I found my light commercial stack unit.
It looks like two rods sticking out on each side.

Are you talking about the weight holders? SIB was talking about the mechanism that the carriage goes up and down on. If it is one square tube it will be rougher than if it is two guide rods.

Use car wax on the square chrome tube. Your weight carriage will slide much easier. Car wax is easy to apply, does not attract dust, and lasts a long time. It will also help get rid of the rust on the tube.

You can do low rows and pulldowns on that unit. Car wax is a good tip. Years ago I had a Tuff Stuff half rack with the lat attachment. It wasn't commercial, but for a home unit it was very smooth. The pulleys are larger than the pulleys on other brands that were in the same price range (Parabody, Body Solid, etc.) I'd buy it in a heartbeat for $100.

I second this opinion 100%. I have a commercial lat/mid row machine with a weight stack now but for years had a Parabody model like this one and would still have it if my current piece hadn’t shown up. I had no complaints with it $100-$150 is a good buy.
Any of these plates worth anything? Mainly looking at the Yorks and the 45's.

Picked up an EliteFTS 6 bar holder today for 60. Man, this thing is diesel. Guy has another 6 and an 8 for sale too. I missed out on the T-Grip.

I went ahead and got it. $100 came with lat bar, a rope, a v-bar, and a small straight bar for triceps. Had to pay $40 for a dang van rental! But shoot $140 for everything. I'm happy... :) Feels very smooth.
Man, Facebook is on fire lately! Bodymasters leg press for $400? No space here, would be a quality machine for someone.

GOT it! but the picture is sideways...crap
That looks like it hasn't been used. I think you'll be very satisfied with it.
Need to upgrade my 20" high with a flimsy pad Parabody FID bench...
Is a Rogue Monster Bench w/ Thompson Fat Pad for $200 a good deal?
What about a REP AB-3000 FID for $140?

that rogue bench with fat pad is a good deal. I paid $200 just for the pad new.
when in doubt, ask yourself if either is hard to find at the price it's listed at. the REP is being sold at regular price and is available online anytime.
the rogue bench is being sold used and cheaper than new price.
buy the used one because if you don't like it you have a decent chance to get your money back.

Anybody know the weight limit on the Body Solid Hyperextension? I'm wondering how much weight I could add without asking for trouble.
I'm a spammer
[QUOTE=rlundregan;1546570231]Anybody know the weight limit on the Body Solid Hyperextension? I'm wondering how much weight I could add without asking for trouble.[/QUOTE]
Also curious how much weight people have used with the BS. I like doing hypers with a loaded bar on the floor. I'm not sure the limits on my Nautilus or Powertec (Amazon says 400 on this one, Powertec's product page doesn't say anything) units, and have put my bodyweight (245) + 155 on them so far without issue.
[QUOTE=username567890;1546573271]My bad if I've posted more than once, it appears my posts keep getting deleted I think for spamming my own stuff for sale.[/QUOTE]
I think it's more to do with the fact that you're posting a link to your own listing. You have a very basic, forgettable username, and your only post on the forums is that link, which is what makes it look suspicious.
Don't worry, if the deal is good enough, it'll get posted in here by a regular.
^^^This. You can't create accounts just to spam stuff for sale. That's your third account to do this.
