Seller's Market for weights and equipment right now

[murphyreedus]

100%!!!

I was on a local 'Bargains' ******** page once and it was childish. There was a woman/child hell bent on destroying the social reputation of another person, because she was upset that the painting she bought didn't 'look' as good in person as it did in the listing. Think I got banned from that page for saying something like, "Lady, YOU picked the painting up in person, YOU inspected it's condition before handing over the cash, why are you being so childish? Next time put your big girl panties on and say 'No thanks' if something doesn't look right to you."

It's like "caveat emptor" is Latin to them...

[Duplicitous]

I don't bother with buy/sell groups on ******** for selling. Too many rules, too many thin-skinned people.

Ditto. Marketplace only for me. The yardsale groups seem to be comprised mostly of people looking for fire sale pricing. "Why would I pay $100 for your Rogue barbell when I can get the same barbell at Walmart for $40 new?" Yeah, you go do that. :P

On one occasion, I also had a group admin stand me up. She plead with me to let her come the next day. Ok. Day 2 she shows up at my house 2.5 hours late and messages me that she's at the top of my driveway. I told her my wife is in bed now. She pissed and moaned, ranted about how group rules said I have to give her X days before going to next person and then went on her way. A couple days later she says I'm in in the neighborhood, can I come get the item? Grrrr! I know if I say no, she'll just ban me so I tell her ok. She comes and gets it, hubby literally throws the money out the car window. They drive off. Then she bans me anyway. Apparently, she was super pissed because I turned her away the day she was 2.5 hours late.

Probably - you can get $200 any given day around here

Yep--I sold a Model B for $250 a couple of years ago.

I keep looking at my two sets of Ironmasters, I'm sorely tempted to sell one. I do actually use both sets, though.

[Deep-Voiced-One]

Stou8t or whatever his screen name is had a pair of ironmaster 5-75 priced at $1500 (with the stand.) I dont see them on marketplace anymore. Probably moved them. I would list them for at least $1600, depending on your area.

I put them up at $1600 and will see how it goes within the week.

[thedickus]

I just got my IronMaster Super Bench Pro delivered and put together. I listed my PowerTec FID with the leg ext/decline attachment on CL and FB Market for $350. I'll see if I get any bites. I noticed someone listed the same PowerTec FID as mine on FB Market for $75.

I don't especially want to sell mine......but if people are actually paying over $1000 for them, that would be REALLY tough to pass on.

[lsiberian]

Tempted to sell my ironmasters. Save the money and use it on bumpers later and a bar later. I figure I could do front squats once they take my mediport out.

Had mine for a while now, it really deserves a full write up some day. All the benefits of the previous model and none of the negative aspects, Ironmaster absolutely nailed it with this bench. It's not necessary, but it would be interesting if they ever decided to kick it up a notch and make a full blown commercial quality version.

Buy it and offer it to the second buyer in line for your original FID. They don't need to know you have more than one.

Done that more than once.

Really thought about it. Hopefully someone buys that one quickly. Someone two weeks ago was offering an early model IronMaster Super Bench for $75 in my area thought about buying that just to resell. I just hate dealing with people when it comes to selling stuff.

All the BS negotiating is through chat anyway. 1 out of 5 interests I'll be an ass because I'll need to educate them how Walmart crap doesn't compare to my listings. Just block em. I'd offer $50-60 for that bench and now you have two to sell. I did the very same thing with buying ALL Powerblocks one summer.

Had to say goodbye to my rack and calibrated Rogue plates today, but i figured there would be never another situation like now where I would be able to get full going retail on gear I've used for a few years. Luckily, I read the market right and ordered myself a Bridge Built squat stand right before everything was cleaned out, and this made all my gear expendable. Made 2 grand today, next on the purge will likely be my dumbbells and kettlebells even though I'm going to have to slow play this a bit so I can still train while my Bridge squat stand get delivered by the end of the month. The squat stand should get me through til Black Friday were I will buy a brand new rack and hopefully replace whatever DB, KB, or barbell I decide to part with. The time is now people, there will never be anything like this again!

Now I remember why I hate selling things. I'm not sure which is more annoying, the people who act super interested and disappear or the people who send me links to Rogue's website and tell me my prices are too high. I think my favorite was the $600 offer for my Model D with 25k meters on it when I got offers for $800 during normal market conditions.

You get used to it. My typical response is something along the lines of: "I agree that the prices are high, but that's simply the going rate right now."

Beyond that, I'd just suggest that if they would rather pay retail, they are free to place an order with Rogue and prepare to wait a couple months for supply to catch up with demand.

My biggest annoyance are those that fail to read the ad and just want you to spoonfeed them the info that is already there (pricing, availability and location are in all my listings). I'm usually patient with them, but life is pretty rough right now and I'm losing my patience quickly.

I am not bothering posting to any buy groups, even specific to lifting stuff - too much drama and the stuff is moving fast on marketplace itself.

[RGrizzzz]

I sold my Model D with PM4 just now for $1000!

Have a guy coming to get my model C with PM2 for $800 tomorrow. I did upgrade the handle!

Yep, got a couple death threats from that lol. Anyway, sold almost all the stuff I was looking to move for a decent profit. Still have a Rep AB-3000 and my rower. People don't seem to want to bite on $1200 for a rower but I don't care if I keep it so I'll just wait and see.

I wonder what my Model D with PM3 would go for. I could probably get at least $850 in these conditions.

Only one way to know. For some reason it took a few days and I got some (relatively speaking) low ball offers for the rower. My olympic bar sold in minutes! Maybe because I sold it for less than MSRP.

[TheIronAsylum]

how are yal going about selling or buying with random ppl and not getting covi19

[ChickenAndKale]

Ive been trying to buy more equipment for my house and everything is sold out... Its crazy. You cant even find a Olympic barbell online.

Sold off 3 bars and 320lb set of comp bumpers for just shy of $2000CAD. Saw your closeout notice and that had me looking. I just bought a stainless AB training bar on closeout yesterday so I should have it within a few weeks(have to use a package forwarding company so it'll be like I paid retail in the end...) Tempted to get a new power bar as well.. either the closeout $395 AB bar or the Rep powerspeed. Or just wait until rogue puts out a power bar.

It's too bad that all I have is about 500lb of cast plates... I bought the bar to do cleans and want bumpers in case but everywhere is sold out..
