vikingsrule92 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That's actually about standard, at least around my place. I pay .50/lb at Play It Again and have gotten those style plates there before, I have 4 of the 33s. Still a good find though, I really want to find 5-6 good 11lb plates.

Man, I wish plates were that cheap around here. I paid 10 bucks for each of my CAP 10 pounders. If you wanted them for pinching, these 11lb'ers wouldn't be good. The outside rim is actually tapered.

I could care less if they're new or pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I just missed a pretty good deal on eBay not too long ago. It wasn't far from me at all, either. It was over 800lb of oly' weights, (the vast majority of them in 33s, 44s, and 45s) and olympic bench, a preacher curl bench, 2 olympic bars, an olympic curling bar, and a weight tree, and a few sets of hex dumbbells, and somebody beat me for only $700 Edited February 4, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdog Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Good deal Fox.I am always watching Craigslist for stuff.Just waiting For those old york dumbells and 45lb. plates to pop up,You know the saying"I just want them out of my basement","they've been here for 20 years".Those are usually the best deals. On that same note. I found that if you put an add in the Wanted area of Craigslist like this, "Are you tired of those weights sitting around your place taking up space? I can come by and take them off your hands. Quick and easy." I have done this with many items, basically wording it in a way that I am doing them a favor, and I have got some incredible deals!!! Maybe it's an lady whos son has recently moved out or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
