Wasted $150 on a 'like new' leg press from Facebook Marketplace - here's why you should think twice

Picked up a leg press from some guy in Denver last month. He said it was barely used, showed me pics, looked clean. Got it home and the cables were frayed inside the housing, plus two of the weight pegs were stripped. I spent $60 on replacement parts and it's still not smooth. The seller ghosted me when I messaged him about it. So is buying used gym gear from random people worth the gamble, or should we just stick to Rigidtalk's trusted traders where there's at least some accountability? Anyone else get burned on a Marketplace deal?

Bought a squat rack off Craigslist and found the J-hooks were cracked.
