'Look what I bought today!'.

[TommyStarwind]

I do a lot of tire flippin' weekly. I have the standard wide/short tire that I flip normally which really works my legs, back, and traps. I wanted to try a taller tire that would incorporate a shoulder press movement to get it flipped. Just picked this one up at the local farm equipment shop....FREE!

i have to go pick them up within a week or so. I'll def post pics then

I think a school was changing out their weight room, or something, they were selling lots of other plates (35's, 25's, 10's, etc)

Nice haul, but what are you gonna do w/ 2,880lbs? What is that .30 cents a lb?

You can make a solid profit selling for $.50-$.60 a lb.

keep ~20 of them and sell the rest at $.50/lb

What brand are they? You've got a rare opportunity to be the quality control- weigh each plate for accuracy, and check appearence. Keep the best of them and get rid of the rest.

[xephonics]

various brands, some are MSI (I think those are the letters), others are just kind of normal (lang's and some other without a name, just the number)

Yes, I def plan to keep the best of them, and the matching sets. I want a set of 45's for my upcoming rack (about 8-10 for the rack), and my upcoming deadlift station (about 14-16 for my deadlift station). I already have 6 milled york 45's, might change those out if I can get 26 total matching GOOD plates.

How long of a drive will it be?

[xephonics]

How long of a drive will it be?

130-140 miles each way.

[dumb.bell]

130-140 miles each way.

It is about the same distance for me, but I think my route might be faster (straight down I65).

[FastCatChamp]

Its that deep dish 45 in jpeg 2 that caught my eye. Hopefully there are many of those in the mix. Nice buy. I had viewed all of that Cullman equipment as well.

I'm hoping so as well, nice looking and easy to clean up/re-paint (or if they are all in decent condition, ill leave em as is)

[dumb.bell]

Yeah, those caught my eye too. Maybe you will get lucky and about half of them will be like that!

I love old plates, the old "regular" plates tend to be better quality than today's regular plates

Couldn't agree more. That's
one reason I got rid of Ivanko revolvers for old, paint almost off, OM regular plates.

Jack ass! Wanna have an iron grip battle? Haha, I should make a crew

Dude you are out of control !

Jack ass! Wanna have an iron grip battle? Haha, I should make a crew

crap weider on top (going on craigslist ), iron grip 5 foot 30 pound olympic curl bar, 7 food 44 pound iron grip olympic bar

the iron grip curl bar was $50 and the olympic bar $35. wouldn't mind a ivanko black oxide curl but this one feels substantial. and it matches. i like the hexagon on the end. yay!!.

Dude you are out of control !

if that were true i'd have a equipment crew # .

don't mind that wooden shelf. i'm replacing the glass wood shelf to the left of the smith and this will store my boxing gloves and misc gym stuff to keep out of the way of the kitty claws of doooooom!

what i had to drive through to get the curl bar:


wasn't all bad!

Did you factor in gas or mileage when you bought those plates. You got them for $.30 a lb and will spend like 25 gallons of gas. Not trying to bring down your haul. Just wondering if you factored it in.

No one in my CL market sells bulk plates like that, one time some guy (35 mins away) was selling like 3200lbs of olympic weight for $800 but someone beat me to the deal

[matrix563]

i sold 270 pounds of plates the other day for $100. mainly because i know i'll see other deals, and i'm looking for more grip plates. so no real loss

I saw those on govdeals.com, too far for me, glad you got . The other plates were listed at even better prices, I don't know what they sold for. Congrats!

[AttyGuy]

I was thinking the same thing.

Just picked up a life fitness 91xi elliptical for $400 , pics coming in a little while.
