You could always wait a while and see what happens, I would have priced them in the $500-$550 range if it were in my area. Even at that price I might have to sit on them for a while, but they would eventually sell. Don't let that influence you though, I have been surprised before

i'm hoping to sell them each at the 500-550 range, so i'm waiting for someone to talk me down. if they don't get any hits at all i'll lower the asking price. appreciate your guys advices

As a comparison, I sold my Legend 3130 with nicer pads for $400 and it was for sale a long time. Your GHD's are a better GHD and you're in a much bigger market so they should sell.I agree with Urban on the price range but you can wait and see what offers you get and can always lower the price.

[urbanlifter]

The main difficulty that I see is that it's a highly specialized piece, with a unique color scheme that is not mainstream (black/gray), and a brand than most won't be able to fully appreciate. That's the difficulty with most high quality equipment though, so I typically price at fair market and intentionally draw comparisons to other brands for those unaware (like $550 firm, then highlight that the Rogue is $250 more shipped).

thanks. i was tempted to do $550 firm, so i'll give it a day or two (i'm thinking the weekend is usually more active) and then drop the price.

errbody on spread btw

[SomeIronBoy]

no each, going to wait for someone to talk me down.

you guys think i'm asking too much? i could lower it a bit i guess

Me personally, I would only have a picture of one, and not to say you have 2. Post it for $600 and see "Great use for a commercial Crossfit Gym".

Edit: Just saw what morebarbell said. Lol

Totally agree. I never say I have more than one of anything I sell on craigslist people will try and use that to bring down the price and if you get multiple offers you will have more than one to sell and they'll never know. Also makes buyers more willing to buy something if they think it's rare. That's my pro tip for today. More to come lol.

[Domicron]

Interesting suggestions, but im hoping someone will make on offer on both. I'm expecting to come down on price anyway.

Ill see what feedback is light over the next day or two

Is this hammer strength or cybex? I'm almost positive it's a hammer strength, but all the snap fitnesses I've been to in my area have cybex, excluding weights/ dumbbells/ bars/ cardio.

Guessing hammer strength. Looks a little different then there current half rack but might just be a earlier revision. Good price for a commercial rack if you have the height in your gym.

guys, whats wrong with getting something like this? one of the biggest issues i see with a home gym is the inability to do crossovers but this seems to solve that, and with a squat rack in addition to this, what can't you do?

posting in this thread, because theres one posted in my local craigslist for 650

it's a smith machine, so you can't squat or bench.

i guess there are some "safety arms" for the front you can squat or bench off of, but i wouldn't trust them.

it's a compromise between many different things, and the biggest trade off with Marcy products is quality.

for the right price, i guess you could try it out, but i sure wouldn't pay 650 for that thing.

You can squat and breach with free weights as there are bar pegs that are located on the front of the machine, I personally only would get a cable crossover if there are two different weight stacks, not one. 650 is alot, ive seen them in my area for around 300-400.

650 would only be worth it if it was the marcy diamond elite, blue color, with weights and a bar. The blue marcy diamond elite is nice as it has linear bearings, for the smith bar.

beacuse it's a POS poorly built contraption that won't help you get any stronger. You need a rack, 300lb Olympic weight set and adjustable fix bench. You're talking about crossovers like its a primary exercise, it really appears that your majoring in the minors. If you're just starting, start with what I just listed. You can add machines later if your commitment and budget allows.

[tanksoldier]

guys, whats wrong with getting something like this?

As others have mentioned... THAT machine is crap... BUT you're not even at the point where a GOOD machine like that makes sense. Not sure it ever does, to be honest. As a beginner you need to follow a beginner plan until you're not a beginner anymore. No beginner plan needs something like that.

Bar, rack, bench, weights... that's all you need for YEARS of lifting. When you get to the point that you NEED to focus and isolate, adjustable dumbbells will do the trick.

Virtually EVERYTHING you need for years of lifting is right here for $900 shipped:

http://www.repfitness.com/equipment-...x5-starter-gym

...other manufacturers have similar packages, REP's link is just easy to find. Buy a cheap weight rack off Amazon. When you need more weight, buy cheap iron off Craigslist.

The "rack, bar, weights, bench" philosophy will carry thru your beginner stage and into intermediate with nothing added except more weights.

Just buy a package, set it up, pick a plan and start lifting.

Snagged a nice Model D with a PM3 yesterday. I am upgrading from a Model C that I have been relegated to using now that my wife has caught the rowing bug......

Anybody have this rack or seen it in person? I was just wondering if I can have 45lb plates on the top and bottom(which there are 45lbs on the bottom already), and have 10lbs or 25lbs in the middle? Or maybe if anyone else knows about it, I think it's called a "PlateTrolley" but hard to find info. Thanks

No idea on the 10's and 25's, but a quick "fingers on screen" measurement tells me that 45's should fit just fine on both top and bottom.

Okay thanks, I'm hoping 10lbs will fit, if not I got the pegs around the edges, I'm trying to get more storage to keep my vintage weights off the floor.

Rogue makes one. http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-ve...plate-tree-2-0

You could build your own with just about any weight tree, a drill and some heavy duty casters.
