Located out of state and my wife has been looking for some pilates equipment for her studio. I found a good priced listing for pilates Reformers in NJ and i contacted the seller over craigslist. Seller gave me a great deal on two reformers and one chair and i explained im out of state and i cant see the condition of the equipment but i do have a friend that can pick it up with cash.
I asked the seller to take some pics and discribe the condition of the equipment. She took really blurry and dark pics and told me the equipment is in beautiful condition with no rips, broken parts or scratches and im getting a great deal. I gave her 500 down payment with chase and my friend paid her cash when he came in and picked it up. Once the machines were delivered and i saw the condition i was very upset and called the seller and she just didnt want to talk to me and told me to bad your friend did it and im going to call the cops for haressment.
The wood frames of the equipment came in very dirty from usage, huge scratches everywhere, broken parts everywhere, missing part everywhere, ripped upholstery on every piece and the pilates chair has black mold all over it. I called and send txt masseges none stop to her and her husbend but the setuation have not been fixed. I asked them to take the equipment back or give me partial payment back so i can fix whats needed to be fixed. So far nothing has happend. So everyone knows the sellers name is Janine Gilberti O'Hare and husbends name is Thomas O'hare and she was the owner of Professional Pilates & Barre studio in Sparta, New Jersey. Please no one buy anything from them on craigslist or anywhere else.

Sorry to hear about what happend to you! I totally know the equipment and from what i remember Janine always kept her equipment dirty and nesty. Very low end, dirty and unprofessional studio. This is the reason why she closed her studio down because she couldn't get any clients. Every professional studio owner knows, keep your equipment clean after each client! Call the cops. If you like ill give you more info about her.
