Perth: Somewhat OT, bargain punch bag at Kmart Maddington

Travis

This isn't bike related as such, but this is the only vaguely fitness-
related newsgroup I post to so I figured this was the place to post a
Kmart spam.

At the entrance to Kmart Maddington there is a small stack of "boxing
total fitness centre" thingos. Its a punching bag, speed ball and
floor to ceiling ball, chinup bar, vertical knee raise bars and pushup
handles on a big metal frame.

The sign attached to the boxes says "Clearance $180!" and I thought
that was a pretty good price for a punching bag on a stand, not to
mention the other crap.

So I went to the service desk and pointed to the boxes and said "I
want one of those". She wrote a number on a piece of paper for me and
told me to go to the checkout. But when the checkout girl entered the
number the price came out at $160, and then a 25% off discount (I
think they have 25%off special on all sporting goods at the moment),
so the final price was $120.

I did a google search for the unit, the only pics I could find of one
were in this eBay listing:

Anyway, maybe someone in Perth would benefit from this. For $120 I
think it was a pretty good deal, and I figured I'd share it with you
guys.

By the way, its a single 79kg box and would need a van, station wagon
or at least a big hatchback to take home. It fit, just, in the back
of the wife's Yaris.

Had anyone particular in mind? Cyclists aren't known for their upper body development.

Pftth. You mean you can not carry that much weight on your bicycle?

For only $120 this can be remedied...
