White Plains, NY. Rogue Monster 43" flip-down safeties. $250. Great price on these.

https://www.********.com/marketplace...5039196680033/

I guess I really wasn't paying attention to Rogue's Monster prices. Kind of nuts that they're actually more expensive than my Ultra Pro stuff for a number of similar accessories.

Wish I had room. Power Lift GHD looks to be in great shape. $700.

My wife gets slammed with ******** ads for this stupid thing because of all of the YouTube videos she watched for actual squatting.

The DB stands for douchebag
I like how these things often say "used once". Really sells it.

Fayetteville, NC. Commercial incline bench, $15! Link

[ampire]

Starting to see a trickle of once hard to obtain stuff now appearing on CL. Might be a real glut of cheap high end equipment soon. I really want a cheap rower (ex: B or C) so I can row outside sometimes without compromising my super smooth C2D. I'm at 3,814,910 lifetime meters as original owner and it still feels new, don't want to lose that new feeling.

Newark, NJ. Flex Fitness flat and incline benches. Rough shape, but both for $150.

Great deals. The Airdyne isn't totally out of range, but a bit too far for just the 1 piece. Thanks for sharing these.

The Airdyne didn't last long.

I've heard the Ass Air bikes are garbage but the MSRP on them is quite high so one could probably buy replacement crank or pedal or whatever that thing needs and then flip it for 3-4x.

Chesterfield, VA. Schwinn Airdyne $50.

You are finding some good AirDyne deals. In my area, they are going for around $300 to 400 currently. That is a lot more than the $20 to $80 I've paid pre-pandemic.

They go for about $300 where I live also, but I often find them in other areas on the cheap.

$500, somewhat reasonable pandemic price for a clean modern Model E with PM5

Prices coming down.

For my area that would be that an excellent price for a D w/ a PM5 even pre-COVID. Heck, pre-COVID even model Bs were going for $350-400 (They peaked around $550 during COVID.).

Actually only got 650. Guy said 690 correct when he got there. I told him no i asked for 650. Price might be high but im not dishonorable

[grumpytude]

trying to sell a piece lately on craigslist. So many f..... weirdos and scam artists lately. I've experienced it before but seems to be at a all time high now. I'm not on ******** so I don't use their marketplace.
Guy last week was supposed to pick it up and he never shows up. I get an email from someone with the same name today and says he wants the piece??????
anyone else experiencing this lately.

Not that specifically but I've had a couple different scammers tell me they would send me a (fake) cashier's check. They stop responding when I tell them cash or venmo only. There's a misconception that a cashier's check means guaranteed funds. It has to clear just like a personal check.

[grumpytude]

getting alot of " I will be driving from out of state to pick it up"

another is " I don't check my craigslist email- email at this.......".
sorry just venting I guess. I haven't sold a piece in a while, just seems to be alot worse now I guess.

Craigslist has a lot of bots and, generally, they are triggered when the price is over a certain threshold. If you respond to the bot, you will often just get another automated response, but some scammers will reply personally once they have hooked a live person. There aren't a lot of genuine buyers/sellers on Craigslist anymore.

Venmo funds aren't guaranteed either. It appears as if they are because the transaction is instantaneous, but it takes a couple days for that transaction to actually process. Cash and crypto are really the only transactions that are truly guaranteed and irreversible.

According to vemo, payment can't be canceled so good enough for me.

It can be reversed by the bank just like any credit/debit and Venmo may reverse it at their discretion. The seller has little recourse since use of Venmo as payment for goods is a violation of the TOS unless the seller is using a business profile and paying the applicable fees to Venmo.

Venmo may NOT otherwise be used to receive business, commercial or merchant transactions, meaning you CANNOT use Venmo to accept payment from (or send payment to) another user for a good or service, unless explicitly authorized by Venmo.

Unless directly given the option by Venmo, DO NOT USE VENMO TO TRANSACT WITH PEOPLE YOU DON’T PERSONALLY KNOW, ESPECIALLY IF THE TRANSACTION INVOLVES THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF A GOOD OR SERVICE (for example, concert tickets, electronic equipment, sneakers, a watch, or other merchandise). These transactions are potentially high risk, are not allowed under Venmo’s User Agreement, and Venmo does not have a protection program for such transactions unless directly offered. So:

If you send a Venmo payment to an unauthorized business profile or another individual for a good or service, you could lose your money without ever getting what you paid for.
If you accept a Venmo payment from someone for a good or service via your personal profile (instead of a business profile) and we later review the payment, we may reverse the payment, meaning you could lose both the payment and the item sold. This review process may not occur until after you attempt to transfer the funds out of Venmo.

Woah. Didn't realize that. Back to cash only. Thanks, man.

probably bots yeah, weird thing this guy last week responded a few times asked questions, said he was renting a truck from home depot to pick it up. Well he never showed up and no responses to why. wasted my time that day, yesterday I get a response from someone with the same name saying he is interested in the same piece.
I'm like what the f..... is going on here.

[urbanlifter]

With the way things are going we need to create an 'Official ******** Marketplace Thread', I rarely even look at CL anymore. I'd much rather see someone's profile and have all their contact information before meeting, feel like CL is going to go by the way of the dodo bird here soon.
