Craigslist scores

[El Exorcisto]

TheCrimsonFist just put up a status about a Craigslist score, which got me wondering what everyone else has hauled off for a steal. My best has been 298 pounds of Iron Woody competition bumper plates for $165. I also scored an old, brick shithouse York incline bench for $50, and a 300 pound set with shitty bar for $100.

 

What have you scored off Craigslist?

This really makes me want a home gym more than ever. I wonder if I can find a garage on craigslist.

I don't think I should say it here...

I got 205 lbs of plates and a bar for free. Woman's grandson left them behind and is now incarcerated. She wanted them gone but couldn't lift the 45s.

I also got my pole climbing gear off CL. $800 worth of stuff for only $150. Almost brand new too.

 Running out of places to hide the bodies yet?

Does it count if I didn't buy it? A friend found this gem yesterday while looking for a dining table.

Deal or no deal? 

 

PS I called dibs!

It looks like a good rack at a great price. If I needed a rack and had the money I'd jump on it.

I got my "home gym" off craigslist. I don't remember what I paid, but I know it was a good deal. I got the bench, barbell, curl bar, and a bunch of weights.

I got this for 260, rack only.

 

And a bunch of plate weight at .45/pound. All I need is a decent bar and bench.

If you have the money, the Texas Power Bar is the only bar that deserves it. Good score on the rack.

I was considering the TPB or The Bomba V2 from FringeSports. It's about $70 different right now. My big worry is the knurling on the TPB might be too rough for my wife. If I want here to lift, no way in hell she'll put up with a rough knurl.

[El Exorcisto]

If you're used to old beater bars then the knurl on any good bar is going to be sharper than you're initially going to like. My wife was scared of it for about two seconds until she used it one night on bench and deadlift. Now she won't even touch the shit barbell we used to use.

[El Exorcisto]

I will caution that if you want any kind of whip in the bar for Olympic lifts, then don't get the power bar. It's as stiff as Lexington Steel.

I loved the TPB for deads, but really did not like cleaning with it! Since then I've learned to do cleans with schedule 40 pipe, so I'm sure it would be no issue!

I was looking at their site, and the bar looks great, but I feel like I could build the other stuff for WAAAAAY less money than they're asking.  Especially the Power Rack.  I already have access to a welder even.  

 

As for Craigslist scores, I don't have any.    Though I do have a lot of crap I need to list on there.  lol.

They're power rack is easier than most to build. Looks like the use the same material for sign posts. Most other racks use 1" pin holes, which are much harder to do since the material isn't pre-made. Trust me I've done the cost analysis, it's way cheaper to find a used rack on craigslist.

I originally bought my olympic weights off CL for $50.  I'm constantly scouring it for new deals.  I also recently discovered the free section, so I'm watching it like a hawk.
