Blobs and Block weights  are too expensive. But you can always make your own or use rocks. 

but they are a great training tool

Whats the general census on how blobs and blockweights are priced? 

Are you looking to sell some or looking to possibly buy some? 
 

For an overall consensus I would say the bigger or more rare the blob the higher the price. How high? Completely up to the seller I’ve seen some listed at $400-600+ and it’s just insane. I know the more sought after blobs like half 100 Fatman or Next Gen blobs will almost always run $300+ on eBay/auction. 
 

Best bet overall is to find people within the grip community/in person. I’ve always cut people really good deals/prices on blobs because of how insane all the listed prices are. Also some of the grip people I’ve purchased from have always been more than fair. It may be harder to meet and find people with them in person but it is almost always better than what’s listed online. 
 

Also for the overpriced online blobs. If they’re on a site eBay/marketplace. And they’ve been sitting for a year because of their ridiculous pricing it doesn’t hurt to message or throw in a lower offer.

I think 10$ per kilogram is reasonable. Maybe a bit less for the lighter ones and maybe a bit more for the heavier ones. I think it's good deal if you can get it cheaper than that but you should never expect them to cost less than that. A generic non branded bare iron weight plate usually cost around 2-3$ per kilogram and that is about as cheap as they get. So expect to pay significantly more for a blob.

In my experience of all the blobs I've bought...

(using scaled weight)

$.50 - $1/lb for hex blobs

$2-3/lb for York blobs

$3-5/lb for Fatman half 100

 

As said already, ebay prices are insane, look in the Selling section on here for pricing, you'll see most blobs have sold at much more reasonable rates.
