big nasty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I screwed my self up on Ebay I bid on 2 85 pounder's and won them both. I don't own any so my knowledge is limited I got the first one in and it weighed 44.8 on my digital scale which seemed heavy to me as I already posted. I got the second one today they are not the same size this one is 41.8 pound's and the measurement's are different. Here is what they are 1st one 3 3/4'' wide 7'' slope 22'' around second one is 3 5/8'' wide 6 7/8'' slope 21 3/4'' around. I seen a post with the size's anyone know were I think one is and 85 and the other is 90 blob any thought's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobb1320 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well,it sure sounds like you got one from an 85 and one from a 90 to me.which is a pretty good score,I also wonder if someone got a 42 thats supposed to be a 45??The bigger ones are getting tough to find thats for sure.

Alawadhi Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hmmmm I remember oe guy selling a BLOB not long ago on ebay saying his usual words like"Rare, handstrength,..etc" but that was actually the legacy blob the not the original blob. Are you sure you got a normal blob and not the legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you got a normal blob and not the legacy? I seen those 100's on Ebay these are suppost to be from the 60's and 70's they look like the one's that Ben Edward's have so I think there the real deal.

Alawadhi Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Those 100 blob had one side much fatter than the other, it was clear. As I know, these are the legacy and are easier to lift. So if that seller want to sell one of those again, i'll just want to make people know they they are the legacy and not the original blob. So they dont get confuse.

knyaz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes I saw those Legacys on Ebay as well the one side was clearly Flat like, its easy to tell the Real York s from the 60 s and 70 s from the LEGACY Blobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryderi Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I wouldn't buy the Legacy either. However, the seller did post a neat video in his auction showing a deload setup using bands that I've never thought of. Instead of using the common power rack or some other support, the bands are wrapped around his legs: http://cgi.ebay.com/HARDER-YORK-100LB-BLOB...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought one of those - is it not really a york blob? I haven't recieved it in the mail yet, but its in route. If I eventually lift it - would it not count as a blob lift?

knyaz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 No you gotta lift the Original YOrk Blob , the Legacy is considered easier -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes it won't be counted on the list and the BLOB lifter. But who cares? Train on it (since you are natural) and when you lift it like it's a newspaper then go to Eric and lift his for the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it won't count for the GB Blob list, the topic was brought up a while ago. That seller is using deceptive tactics and should at least be given negative feedback. I don't know if there is a mechanism for reporting shady behavior like this so others don't get ripped off, probably falls through the cracks. It does say "new" somewhere on the page in fine print. This seller also markets the Vice Gripper (ISG w/knurled handles) if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering who bid $120 on that York legacy! The seller should not sell the legacy's as rare yorks! Scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you you would have had one just like Eric's. Edited April 2, 2008 by John Eaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
