Guys that are obsessed with USA made York equipment want very high prices for items that are in beat-up/rusty condition.

I bought an 17 year old York Power Bar recently. The guy was a fanatic. He tried to sell me a pair of vintage york collars for $100. I bought the bar, and passed on the collars.

The giant jump on York (and many older brands) is interesting, and is mainly internet based. Back in the early 2000's, it was mainly older guys, and a few younger ones that wanted nice sets to lift on because the industry was moving toward near total outsourcing of most fitness products. Now it's mostly guys trading them around like baseball cards. Sort of disheartening when you see a guy bragging about owning a ton of York xyz's, but still is a 175lbs of skinny fat.

He claimed that the bar was worth $400... he tried to sell it to me for $225.

I then offered him $100. He said "no way".

In the end, we settled on $150

Those have been on eBay for suite some time. Hard to sell a large lot like that (price and shipping).

Nice bells to own though, just not for that money.

In addition to their patented Dig Into You Upper Thighs while you stabilize them pre set.....

Singlet also required when using.  Mustache preferred too, but optional.
