question for all you home gym junkies

[GYMBRAT]

Curious to know what you all are paying/selling per pound for your free weights?

I have around 500 +/- in Nautilus steel plates, 45's down to 2.5's and so on that I just don't use anymore....

Thanks ppl

I cleared out a lot of my plates in favour of bumpers earlier this year.
Retail is about $1/pound.

I got rid of about 500 pounds of mine at between .50 and .80 a pound on the local flea market web sites.

Hey man where did you find your bumpers? what did you pay for them?

I'm not sure about the traffic on craiglist in Alberta, but here in Toronto.. plates don't usually last more than a day before they are sold, most people are selling them for between $0.70lb - $0.90/lb. You may want to give that a go.

Thanks Rick...

I tried on Kijiji and had ppl offering me 10-20 cents per pound....as f**kin if!

I got my training bumpers from wright rubber with shipping it was
about 3$/pound. They aren't competition bumpers but I can drop an overhead press or powerclean without worrying about hurting my shoulders.

I was a little stupid in my shopping I bought:
2-5 pound technique plates (good buy)
2-10 pound bumper (not necessary use steel)
2-15 pound bumpers (again 5+10 = 15)
2 - 25 pound bumpers ( good buy )
2 - 35 pound bumpers ( 25+10 = 25 ) - oops
6 - 45 pound bumpers ( wright didn'g make 25kg / 55 pound bumpers) - but garagegym does and they are narrower - can get 660 on the bar.

I'll be buying my 25kg bumpers from GarageGym as they now have a reseller in Alberta and likely selling 4-45's, 2-15's and 2-35s off on kijiji etc.

If you were closer to me I'd take some of that off of your hands, I only have 425lbs in olympic plates at home. Then again my wife gets scared when I bench anything over 300lbs.
