Those are dream buys, they come along rarely. Private gym, hardly used, and they probably just want to get rid of the stuff because it's taking up space.

Yep. Pretty clear none of that stuff was ever used. The ivankos were never even unpacked off the skid!

Can't tell what the plates are... But looking at how old the equipment is, could be some decent vintage stuff?

I have the free-standing version of that VKR.

Can't help you with the rest of that stuff, though.

Looks like it was nice stuff back in the 70's or 80's. You have to respect that, it's the kind of equipment that Arnold, Dave Draper, and those guys would have used. That said, newer equipment is a much easier sell if you would decide that you didn't like a particular piece and wanted to move it along.

Looks like maybe all unmarked Ivankos? Or these are part of the skinny script debate?

Neither. Even the skinny script has all three words: "Olympic Standard Barbell" and does not contain KG weight. These are something different. But at .61 per.... great usable weights. Maybe Paramount or Billard??

Makes sense. Thank you sir. Hoping someone goes after them, they look to be in great condition.

I was actually thinking about your set when I saw that post, but I noticed you were in California.

i wonder if any of the dumbbells could fit into a usps flat rate box ? that would have to be one strong ass mail carrier =)

Not even close

If it fits, it ships...up until a certain point. You can't go over the 70lb USPS weight limit. "Regardless of the size of the mailpiece, the maximum mailable weight of any mailpiece is 70 pounds."

I got rejected at the post office trying to ship 2 x 35lb dumbbells in a large flat rate box. With packing material and the box, I was at around 72lbs. The guy wouldn't budge.

[swimmer32]

Anybody know what brand of machines these are? I believe they say "TK" on them?

What is the view on Magnum weight racks? Looking to get one for home and saw this one on CL in my area. I don't know much about them, so any insight would be great. With weights and bench, asking about $700.

They tend to be pretty heavy duty pieces. I believe they are now produced by Matrix (bought out by them at some point maybe).

as a brand they are very well respected and high quality.

As for that price - sounds high, but depending on the bench and how much weight, it could be a nice deal.

Thanks a lot, everyone. Here are the details.

MAGNUM HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL WEIGHTLIFTING RACK-THIS IS A EXTREMELY HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL SQUAT RACK- COMES WITH NAUTILUS COMMERCIAL FLAT BENCH WITH HANDLE AND WHEELS-YORK OLYMPIC TEXAS POWER BAR 1500 LB CAPACITY-FULL BALL BEARING SLEEVES-HEAVY DUTY OLYMPIC PLATE TREE-INCLUDED 255 LBS OF INTEK CAST STEEL PLATES-RACK ALSO COMES WITH PLATE STORAGE ATTACHMENT WITH SPOTTER STANDS. OVER $2000.00 WORTH OF EQUIPMENT FOR $700.00.

[Cleveland33]

Ugh, that is a cluster of an ad.

York doesn't make the Texas power bar - they do however make a 1500lb power bar that is very nice, but it doesn't have ball bearing sleeves, so the seller is kinda confused on what he has.

That said -

At $0.50/lb the plates are $127.50 - and they are pretty good plates if I recall (though they are cast iron, not cast steel)
Assuming the bar is a York 32004 power bar - they sell around $350 new, so figure at $125 for the bar (and it is a great bar)

$250 off the bat for the bar and plates - putting a commercial rack and potentially a commercial bench (does he have a pic of the other stuff?) at $450 - I'd say that is a good buy. If the bench is high quality, you could be getting a steal.

[Cleveland33]

Looking at that rack, the j-hooks look funny how they are attached to the rack, wouldn't hesitate on it though as I trust their design as a manufacturer and assume there is more than what I see here.

you guys are awesome! Thanks for the feedback, this is extremely helpful. Unfortunately, I've shared the pics I have.

[urbanlifter]

Something isn't right with that Magnum rack, looks like its missing the weight storage area in the back and the j-hooks do not look like Magnum's typical oversized design. I wouldn't be surprised if someone rehabbed that rack and removed the weight storage area to save space. I wouldn't pay much for that rack specifically, but overall Magnum makes some serious equipment and I really enjoyed my Magnum Pro M694 rack.

Edit: saw the second thumbnail pic and it appears to be the weight storage area. Should be a solid rack if its in good condition.

[swimmer32]

Bumping to see if anybody knows what brand this is. Could it be TK Star?

http://peoria.craigslist.org/spo/5278178270.html



It's mainly the pec deck that I'm looking at. I currently have a plate loaded body-solid, and I'm wondering if this would be a decent step up. I'm having trouble even finding a machine online that looks like it.

the hooks are concerning to me, how are they held on?

But I would grab that rack at the price and have some custom hooks made.

The real deal breaker/maker here is the bench. If it's a commercial Nautilus bench - steal.

Edit: just looked again, I guess I was focusing on the rack so much I missed the bench in the pic. Looks commercial.

Bit pricey but I've never seen Yorks or 100's for that matter nearby.

Post this on the "Cost no object" thread, a couple of the members know his stuff, and he posted there himself.

You can rent a truck from home depot for practically nothing.
