Used Gym Equipment

I went to see if I could find a seated calf raise machine, and was pleased to see that they had plenty of varieties of machines for different uses. I found a really old (rusty) seated calf machine and figured it would do its purpose. I asked the salesman how much it would be and he quoted me so high of a price, I was in disbelief. The machine itself looked to be atleast (no exageration) 20 some years old with the amount of rust and chipped paint it had. They told me they were selling it for half of what it was worth new. Total rip off if you ask me!
