Another Craigslist dreamer........

[RemainDieHard]

With all the threads "is this a good deal" I figured we should have one to LOL at ads that are NOT a good deal.

THis guy is a real dreamer. Notice the $20 hollow dumbbell handles? If he paid 1700 for these then he got raped :

I think he needs the money to pay for a gardener

What gardener? He's not done "building".
He's asking for $300 to $400 more than what he paid for. $1800 my ass LOL. I like the way he refers to the VKR as a dip machine, pullup stand and push up attachment. Like the VKR is three different equipment. Douche!

[HardKore79]

HAA, I think that stand is Ironman VKR which Ive had in the past and flipped it without even setting it up. Those were like $120 NEW. Nice try LOL
Typical Sports Authority equipment.

I saw that ad metalman. Made me laugh a bit.

Last I checked, you couldn't do "ab crunches" on a power tower either.

[Keeptryin]

It does remind me of some prison yard in tijuana...never been mind you.

Unrealistic sellers on craigslist have become a pet peeve of mine. Great thread.

This guy has been trying to sell this dip stand literally for 6+ months, at this price:

http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/spo/1173757471.html

I went to look at this item 6 months ago. The Problems: 1) He lives a long way out from any cities, in a small town. It was a long drive. 2) The dip stand he is selling IS NOT the one he has a link to in his ad. I told him what he was selling is not what he had pictured in the ad. Needless to say, i was a bit pissed at driving all that way for an item he didn't actually have. (3) He has continued for the last 6 months to sell the same item without updating to an accurate picture, and (4) he apparently will not lower the price below $100, so keeps posting, and reposting, and reposting....

Another Craigslist pet peeve favorite for me in my area. There are a dozen of these in any given week, so I will just pick one.

Evidently, the Concept 2 rower model C, in used condition, is worth its almost new price. Despite being used. Despite being a model that is discontinued:

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/spo/1170072094.html

This one is $675. I routinely see these Model C rowers at $600+ or $700+.

Model D's and E's are routinely listed for just $100 or $200 under the Brand new price - so $800+. All the time.

to my astonishment, these listing don't last long. People actually seem to be paying these outrageous prices.

[Poncho428]

At least they didn't say that it's worth 3 times their asking price.

I did not look at the ad but the new Powertec one "Basic Trainner" does sissy squats and Crunches or sit ups.

[Kodokan]

200 lbs of dumbells for $250.

When I saw this ad, I was totally thinking this person is dreaming.

Ok, maybe I'm just being overly critical guys, you be the judge.

This fella wants $700 for a weider pro 9930 home gym, but he's throwing in a lifestyler stepper. Dreamer or good deal?


I may get it if ya'll say deal. I might flip the stepper and sell my Powertec Lat PD to make room for the home gym. I just don't know on this one.

Thanks.

Yea, but why.....do you have any specific knowledge of that machine or are you just being a hater?

And does anybody know what the bar weighs on that thing.....I'll need to know to do my workouts.

Keet,

Liquidate all assets to purchase.
