My First Post.
I have been lurking the boards for quite some time, collecting information from all the great sources of info. This board is definitely more helpful than any others, of any topic, that I've come across. Cheers.
Here is my situation, then my question...
I am a long time boxing fan, but new to actually investing in it physically. I am slowly building up my garage with equipment as I don't have time to attend a gym regularly. (I have a young child that I need to be home with almost all the time).
I am uninterested in competing on any level. I am strictly in it for the cardio and strength building, and for kicks.
I say all that to say, I am trying to buy decent equipment on a budget. I am looking for a heavy bag on craigslist and have found various that are too far away to get with my car which wouldn't fit it anyway.
I have found this one for $50.

It's clearly not a looker, but do you think it will suffice? Is it a good/decent value for 50 bucks?
It's a 75lb bag. I asked and the owner said there are no hard spots or hard sides. I wouldn't be using the wall mount, but rather hanging it from the rafters. I am 6'2/205lbs. What do you think?
