I have 3 pairs of intek 45's and 1 pair of 25's. How much should I expect to get for them. They are in good condition with no rust and a fresh coat of paint. I also have some rubber revolver plates. They are in perfect condition. How much could I get for those. They are Magnum and Cemco brands.

In my area weight plates sell used for between 40-50 cents per pound. Typically with used weight, brand becomes irrelevant. UNLESS you have some serious competition grade calibrated plates, then you could probably get anywhere from $0.75 to over $1 per pound. Tough call really

Do you have pictures?
Intek and Cemco are good plates so you should be able to get more than standard market values for them.
Intek plates will run about $2/lb new and the the cemco plates sell for $3/lb new from EliteFTS. I would try to get 50% of retail when selling used so the InTek plates would be $1/lb and Cemco for $1.50/lb. You could offer someone a deal if they bought all of the Intek plates and sell them for $275-300 for the set of (6) 45's and (2) 25's -> would be $.86+/lb but makes things a bit easier for you rather than having to do a bunch of transactions.
Since people will always haggle with you and higher grade commercial plates are a little bit less common on the used market you could always start out a bit higher on the listings and see what you can get then adjust from there. Depends on how quickly you need to sell them and your local market.Pro Strongman & Former National Champion

Some dude on Craigslist sold me the cemco/magnum revolver plates. 2 45's, 4 35's, 4 10'2, and 4 2.5's. he also sold me 4 urethane coated 25's made by TAG. so that averages for about .70 per pound. Its weird because some of the plates were still in there boxes and wrap and were brand new. Since you said I might be able to get 1.50 per pound would you recommend I buy more of his plates for .70 per pound and keep them in there packaging so I can sell them and use the money to buy they rubber Inteks I want. I would keep the plates I currently have. The guy only has 10 35's left and 15 2.5's. so no more 45's otherwise I would have just bought rubber plates from him but I need more 45's so I'm getting intek.
