Concept2 Forum

My name is Joe and I am a family man and college student with VERY limited funds. I used to row at my local gym but when my daughter was born I had to give up my membership. I am finishing up my bachelors degree online so I don't have access to a college gym. I have been looking for a good used concept2 rower but am not having much luck. Everytime I think i have found one on ebay the price bids up way above my limit. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to find a good used rower? Does anyone have one they are selling? Unfortunately right now I have only $400-$500 to spend and that includes shipping. I know it seems unrealistic but I thought I would put it out there in hopes of getting lucky.<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Joe

If there are any gyms in your area that are closing or are going to upgrade from older to newer rowers, you might be able to buy an older one from them. Schools with rowing teams might upgrade, too. I got mine from a gym that was closing. The guy was clueless and only asked for $75 for a Model B. That was almost four years ago and he still hasn't cashed our check. </span>
