Did the PM2 have the fish game on it? That alone causes my kids to ask to row a couple times a day

I've never tried the games on any of them

[ampire]

I've never tried the games on any of them

It is pretty fun, fish scrolls left to right, when you row it causes the fish to go upwards to dodge obstacles and other fish. I haven't played it in about 9 years though. I remember it being difficult. I just checked and fish game is PM3+.

[cwcmac]

I love the fish game. I just ended up ordering a new gray one from Rogue, I like the two tone look over the black.

Just an FYI - Christians Fitness Factory was the cheapest I found. May want to contact them and if cheaper try to cancel the Rogue order.

i think $1.5/# is too high for the OMEZS, but the Icarian super bench seems decent for $250...though i wish the pads were the same color

Nice front foot modification on that gfid71 bench.

Nice front foot modification on that gfid71 bench.

IMO, that huge horseshoe-shaped front foot is more of a hindrance than anything else unless you're going to use the leg extension attachment. It's one of my biggest complaints about the 70/71, along with the height.

So much potential, but those two flaws just ruin an extremely solid bench.

Anyone recognize the Smith machine?

For the york collectors out there this would be a nice pick up.

Vintage 20 kg bumpers in excellent condition for $250.

I'm thinking about offering this guy $200-$240 for these 5-70 lb PowerBlock dumbbells. It looks like they are $497 after shipping on the website.

Thoughts on how much they are probably worth? They are only a few months old.

I can get used dumbbells locally for $0.59/lb so it would cost me $614 in dumbbells for the same weight. The expansion kit to take them from 70's to 90's is $129 +$29 shipping. The additional dumbbells to go from 70 to 90 would cost $390. It seems like a pretty good deal if he comes down into the mid 200's or something with them.

Thanks,
Danny

good luck getting the guy to take half his asking price. It may not be worth it to you but i'd be curious to see if the guy would take that hit. not saying his asking price is fair...for that much i'd just pony up the extra $50 and buy new.

also you should delete the ad unless you want someone to poach your find.

[drkelly74]

A bench comes with it at his asking price, so I was hoping to get him down to that level for just the dumbbells. They have been for sale for 23 days, so he might bite.

I'm not sure what they are worth used, but I figure half of new is reasonable for used gym equipment, but then he just bought them so might want more.

half is usually true - but Powerblocks seems to be one of the exceptions. But you never know unless you ask.

which bench? might be able to sell it for a good price to offset the cost.

powerblocks seem to age well and they reportedly have excellent customer service. the only thing you risk by lowballing is for the seller to ignore you. then again they might already be sold and the seller just hasn't pulled the listing. call him up and see

It is a Fitness Reality 1000 bench. $95 on Amazon.

He replied to my first question that they were still for sale. I offered $220 for the dumbbells in my reply.

Didn't mean for it to come off that way. Just figured a bottom line up front makes it easier, especially for mobile uses.

My last couple posts have been CL ads, mainly because I feel it's one way I can contribute to the group, and because I'm overseas for work and buying is out of the option for me.

just my opinion, but id stay away from those elite powerblocks. they are the clunkiest thing PB ever made...look at the big gaps on those. wait and/or save for the urethane models or even the older pro models. around here id have to go down to $325-$350 to sell 5-70 elites. if the bench they are sitting on is the included bench, it has no real value, so i doubt its exclusion would entice him to lower his price much.

I have classic elites and really like them but it's a good point, the one looks like it's taken some drops and been hammered back so the integrity of the welds may be rough.

Thanks for the info. I know some people don't like them, and others do. I have never tried them. I didn't know their was quality differences across the different models. He replied that they were for sale, but never replied back after I offered him $220, so I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks again for the advice.

OSU is a good guy, but even I would let those sit for a few months and wait for him to drop the price down into the $250-$350 range. They look BEAUTIFUL though, would match the color scheme of my gym nicely

Good deal here on a beefy leg press, $250 but it would be a bish to move.

I dont know if theres a reseller who can compete with fitness equipment empire. That douche uses so many keywords its almost impossible not to see 500 of his postings...all of which are ridiculously overpriced. I dont know why anyone would even bother doing business with that outfit.

I really wish CL would allow you to filter out all posts from certain people (linked by their e-mail or something). Some flippers and resellers completely ruin it.

[urbanlifter]

OSUdimond does have some decent stuff though from time-to-time, really this isn't that bad a deal either. Legend rack and 3103 for $1k, or even the bench itself at $300 is a fair deal on a commercial bench like that.

Ha. I always use a few tags at the end, but I try to keep them related, at least, to what I'm selling.

Those Cybex benches are purdy /\

I filter to "owner" postings, which filters out the dealer stuff like Fitness Equipment Empire, Second Wind, etc. There aren't any reasonably priced full-time flippers around here who post as "by owner", so it works out OK.
